Obligatory XKCD

Is this something Onebox / oEmbed could help to make real? That seems at least like an example of how this could work. Then there wouldn’t have to be local storage, just a script that converts that <xkcd = 1250> into a legit oEmbed url. Of course, this would require some work on Randal’s end, but seems like the kind of thing he’d be into implementing from what I can clean from his comics about elegant engineering solutions and software-software communication…
