+1 to everything above. Actually, for #2, it doesn't HAVE to be one  
module...it just needs to get managed in one place and work well in  
predictable ways. Which File API kind of does, but is also kind of  
messy, and definitely doesn't meet the second criteria.

Doesn't work with WYSIWYG. I understand the need for tokens, but  
maybe we can overload something in the HTML? Like, <a href="xx"  
class="image-xx">? Implementation detail, just wanted to bring up the  
rich text editor angle...the img_assist toggle works.
