I am talking here about images displayed in HTML pages, via <img> tags. Any ePub renderer or converter, no matter
how it works, has
got to parse those links and hence will "know" that the file is required.
Images which are
not referenced in an HTML page are, of course, an entirely different matter. They do of course need to be listed in the manifest in order to be included in the book.
