The correspoding references in the html file would have to match; how
hard would it be to arrange that?  Would that be tricky at all?
Are there any advantages to specifying the image file name?
(Obviously, I don't know the answer to any of these.)

How does this overcome this problem?  Doesn't it just make the
directory in the image environment impossible (rather than 
unsupported)?

Well, you did come up with a nice solution.
But that wouldn't be necessary if the image name is replaced by a
counter, right?
