And then the style that is then applied should add the images to it, therefore without the style you have the plaintext xhtml, so you can add a completly different style without changing <img> tags. Im yet to see another designer come round to my way of thinking (probably cos its more work), but still im sticking to it.
Sorry to disappoint but this isn't your theory, its the basic premise of semantic XHTML/CSS - the separation of content from layout.

Also there are occasions where it is still appropriate to include images directly within the HTML.
