You're right that it's often a little silly to have an image alone in  
its own paragraph. But maybe we could use <figure> for these cases:

     <figure>
       <img>
     </figure>

Ok, this is not conformant with the current spec since it's missing a  
legend, but in my opinion it should be allowed.
