Yep, that's quite a task ;) But there's a solution. You have to 
translate the mediaobject to a <img> internally. We do that already for 
<object> in the XHTML namespace in the function 
documentCreateXHTMLElement() in js/bxeFunctions.js, now you should do 
sth similar for mediaobject. The main task you will encounter is, that 
documentCreateXHTMLELement() only is called for XHTML elements and 
mediaobject isn't..

Therefore the best thing would be, if one could define in config.xml 
which elements should be translated internally to something else (and 
add a documentCreateXMLElement() function for that matter). Would be a 
new feature...

You're best shot for a short term solution would be to have a look at
function bxe_Node_createNS() in bxeNodeElements.js and try to insert 
something there. As far as I can tell, this is the main place for such a 
thing, until I find the time to implement a better solution.
