Doesn't seem very intuitive for a normal user... nor very robust. To be
honest, I might *almost* consider this a bug in the treatment of links. 
For example, let's say an unsuspecting user enters:

  Go to this page to see the effect of image
  [[http://uri.org/effects.php?arg=blur&src=rose.jpg blurring]].

I'm not sure how obvious it is that you should permutate the arguments in 
order to make it work.

That's a possibility of course. However, then I think something that 
examplifies the above should be added to:

	http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/ImagesInWikiPages

Or possibly put the informatino in the FAQ, and refer to it from the page 
above.
