HTML doesn't have an <image> tag.

  Actually, it does. Try it. (To be clear, it was implemented because of the frequency in which developers mistakenly use <image> instead of <img>)

    Apparently not in HTML5, although major browsers retained it for the purpose you mentioned and back-compat. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11928566/img-vs-image-tag-in-html https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11928566/img-vs-image-ta...

      Interesting comment there: I discovered, the hard way, that the Android Gmail client, using naked HTML (with a default naked DTD specification), does exhibit this problem. It only responds to <img /> [i.e., not <image />]. gmail.com is fine with <image />, but not the Android gmail client. Looks like a fingerprinting opportunity to me.

      It's in HTML5 as well, but is converted at tokenization time to <img> and a parse error is recorded. https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110113/tokenization.html#tokenization https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110113/tokenization.ht... (Search for "image")

    No it doesn’t. Html has img and picture tags. https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/semantics-embedded-content.html#the-picture-element https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/semantics-embedded-content.html...

      It does indeed have <image> tags as part of the spec, in order to account for about 0.2% of websites per a study done in December 2005. See this comment for the link in the spec: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16462230 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16462230
