just had a quick glance... it looks ok. I'm not sure this functionality really belongs in image.module itself, particularly when this same functionality (and much, much more) already exists in img_assist (quite elegantly, imo).
That is my point, "much, much more", which is usually ok for content editors, but too much for average users. Whether this belongs to image module or not, I think this is just a nice add-on, and because of its simplicity and dependency on image.module, it doesn't really make sense to have a different module - I just got surprised how easily it could be implemented using image.module api.
However, this is something that comes up quite frequently - i.e. "how do I add images to my blog post" ... perhaps if image.module is destined for core... this would be a nice "base" functionality to accomodate this.
Yep, too frequently for me, people just want some *easy* way to add an image to their posts. IMHO image module should definitely be in core, you just need to take a look at the "Top-20 most downloaded Drupal projects" list.
