HTML imaging idea

A bit ago, I came up with an interesting idea for representing images using HTML. I can see very little practical purpose for this concept, but some of you might find it useful. I've written a small C++ routine that converts a bitmap image into HTML code, and displays the image correctly. To see what this looks like, go to http://www.geocities.com/htmlgames/h...ging_demo.html . Look at its source to see something very interesting. Right now, the translation results in very inefficient image encoding, about 25 bytes of html for 3 bytes of BMP format image. If you want to see the code, send me a private message & I'll send you the code. I would love it if someone wants to make it more efficient (maybe with JPEG-style compression) and actually use it for something.
