CMF's Images have two advantages over stock OFS.Image.Image:  they
are searchable using the standard metadata, and they can be managed
within the CMF folder UI.  If neither of these matter for your
application (e.g., the images are always contained in a skinned
folder, which has a custom UI for managing them, and you *don't*
want them to be separately searchable), then don't use them.

BTW, in case folks didn't know this, CMFDefault.Document can embed
images even when their format is STX, using STX's "image link"
syntax::

   "Manager and Designer scenario":img:1:manageranddesigner.png

For an example, see Jeffrey's composites proposal, which has some
nice diagrams embedded in it:
