<div style="">wouldn't it be better to have all values
tagged according to the same rules, i.e. use a fully
qualified url for the image tag?</div>

I fully agree. There's actually no need for distinction of image
origin in the tagging scheme. Any distinction (as is done with the
historical map) could by done by easily filtering the URL parts.
(With the historical map, only some origins like wikimedia and
flickr are used to create thumbnails - for copyright reasons).<br>
<br>
Something I still miss in the image discussion (especially int the
context of the historical map) is a possibility to distinguish
between an actual image (present time) and an image of former times.
Of course, a lifecycle relation would solve this problem but we all
know it is not yet widely adopted, alas.<br>
<br>
So I suggest something like:<br>
<br>
image=<url> image with no timestamp<br>
image:present=<url> recent image (ok, that's also
rather fuzzy but should be sufficient as it will be used only when
another older image be given, too)<br>
image:ancient=<url> ancient image of the object<br>
image:<date>=<url> dated image, where date
format undergoes the rules described e.g. here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:start_date">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:start_date</a><br>
(only such date
formats without blanks should be used - maybe we need a rework of
the date format rules)<br>
