Is the idea to allow img between options?

Yes. @scottaohara do you think this should be forbidden?

i think people will generally just want images within their options. they'll probably also sometimes want to use them within the legend for optgroups. If it were just up to me, i'd limit their use to being children of these elements.

per discussions that were had on this, the primary use case people seemed to think authors might want them for, outside of options, would be for decorative reasons. but i don't see why that couldn't be done with the allowed divs/spans and CSS.
