Fine. But then, I think the so-called Multimedia CE is obsolete in other 
ways. I do not understand why it does not support still images as they 
are just a simpler type of media. It should replace/extend the Image CE. 
It should allow to include multiple media. It should be combined with 
text in a "Text with media" CE. Rendering should be CSS styled.

Kind regards,
Stan
