Scary --- I wrote a less elegant version of this over the weekend.

Some thoughts skimming the posted code:

- my motivation was to replicate "image" type nodes using CCK + an  
image field managed via nodeapi. In this use, the "caption" is better  
served by CCK, IMHO.

- when you're talking about integrating this with image.module, I'm  
hoping it'll be in a manner that allows the nodeapi code to be loaded  
but NOT image.module itself

Thanks for the cleaner example :)
