But that makes the document far less portable, and I'm liable to lose the extra 
file at some point. I'd much rather have it be self-contained---not, of course, 
if that means that the document suddenly becomes weirdly ugly and complicated, 
but I don't see anyone proposing a solution that makes documents weird and ugly 
and complicated.
