Yes, I would say so. I was thinking that we probably don't want to let
people write extensions that conflict with HTTP return codes in case we want
to use those in the future.

Hm, yeah, I think I was confused when I wrote that :)

I agree with you, let's make mm optional and say that if a site doesn't
support a special value, it should return its default nobody image (e.g. the

Does that sound better?
