None taken, but please avoid the word 'bloat'. If it is a cost to users or
maintenance, describe it as such, and why. I think you'll find, on use, that
it is not a significant cost, for a significant gain (that users know,
immediately, that they can open these files in other programs - how are they
to know that they can drag an image in a page? this way, they will find it
when they go to save, because their next move is very likely to be opening
it in another piece of software anyway).
