I don't suppose that someone can then take
the Neograb image and turn the picture back
into ASCII without doing it by hand character-
by-character.

Most people have the ASCII art on the internet
to share it with others.. and to allow them to
use it for non-commercial purposes.  If you put the
ASCII art into GIF format, it may look like ASCII
art but it is a GIF...  you won't be able to put it into
a text document.   And that is the real beauty and
simplicity of "ASCII" art.

By using HTML, the ASCII image is still in text
form, and can easily be recycled.   In addition,
they load faster and are smaller in size..

my opinion.
