You don't need to use the "raw" directive for this. This can be done
easily via a stylesheet:

This has been on the to-do list for a long time, but (a) it's not a
high-frequency request (yours is the first I can recall), and (b) no
obviously correct solution has been proposed. The to-do list has a
proposal to emulate the MoinMoin wiki's use of "^" as a prefix for
this purpose.

If you want this for every image in all of some subset of your
documents, you could create a custom Writer deriving from the HTML
Writer you already use (or its Sphinx equivalent).

Maybe tell the Sphinx folks that? This is Docutils/reStructuredText,
which Sphinx does use, but they aren't the same thing :-)
