Definitely.

What about auto updating images.
I have an image which needs to be updated, I simply update the original image.

Or what about a document with a lot of images, it would take a lot of time
and memory to load it!

Don't make the same mistake Microsoft made with Word! 

btw all DTP applications and Framemaker only store filenames.

But I do agree on the sense that reading an image should standard be 
included, because the simple user would delete the image afterwards...
