Embedding cover art inside recipes

An idea that I'd like input on.

In CSS you can embed a base64 encoded image, like this:
background-image: url(data:image/jpg;base64,[image]);

I was thinking of using a similar method for embedding recipe covers in Calibre.

This will add to size of recipe, but guarantee the cover will always work and not have to be re-fetched every time.

One could argue that if you're getting news from a publication, you can just swipe a logo from there too. I think it works in most cases, but sometimes images get removed, static image subdomain stops working, etc.

What do you guys think?
