Funny, I did that myself the other day. I got about as far as you
did in about the same amount of time.

I couldn't find anything in the read/write rules that allows
one to set a value (say, for the number of columns in a table)
based on the attribute of an enclosed tag. If such a feature
existed, that would be good enough for me -- I'd slip in a
COLGROUP tag to specify the number of columns, then import &
make column adjustments. An import client would be better though.

Assuming that the goal is round-tripping, an image's URL should
already correspond to a known graphics archive....
