That would completely eliminate one of the best parts of the internet: reusability. By only allowing files served from the current server, you prevent links to remote scripts, images, and content(think headlines). Everything would have to be hosted locally, leading to redundancy, broken links, and bloat.I agree completely that banning 1x1 gifs would be a far worse choice, but there are certainly better solutions.
