I'm convinced that using embedded resources is a better solution.
OK, sounds like we have a consensus and can go ahead with it, great!
One outstanding query is what name we should give to these when we return
them as embedded resources, and if we should include a special key/value
in the metadata that we send with them to identify them?
The source code for Alfresco has examples of extracting thumbnails and
full images from a number of formats, along with tests. Firstly this could
be a good source of inspiration of what formats to go for, and how to do
it. Secondly, with a number of Alfrescans involved in the project, we
might even be able to get the key bits of logic from the code + tests
contributed into Tika, to speed things up :)
