Summary: make image insertion in a more (human) readable way

Initial Comment:
Inserting a image in a article is leading to a very unreadable result. Even more, if you are inserting more than one image.

I would like to see a new markup-plugin, witch enables the media-library to insert the images with a very short code like 

<pic="/uploads/images1.Thumb.jpg" type="left" comment="Comment" link="external_Link">

or some other markup. This should be transcribed on the fly to the normal html when viewing the article. In my opinion, the change would be a huge step in usability, not only for reader who are unfamiliar with html markup.

The path to the image should be relative and will be substituted with the full path during output.
Type will represent the user choice within the media-library (position choice: single, left, right AND  internal link choice: java script window, pop-up window, new window).

The arguments link and comment should only be inserted, if they are needed. Having not the full path inside the article-source has the advantage of easier moving serendipity to a new location.

The request has some history: I found an older request (http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?p=59971#59971) from 2007 and here is my (German language) post (http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?p=75165#75165) from this week.
