If you allow all the common ones, some people might think that any
attributes are supported. However, documentation can outline which
attributes will work and which won't.

How would it handle "?primary=foo&alt=bar" ? Treat it as a query string?
Ignore the unrecognised attributes? Or do half and half, like:
<img src="image.gif?primary=foo" alt="bar">

Yes, unless there is some reason you have in mind for preferring ? over
#. If there is a reason, ? is fine. If not, you could use # and users get
the added advantage that they can use both a query string and specify
attributes without too much confusion as to how it will be handled.
