Bad page (after editing in Composer)-
http://www.sanddunecat.com/mozbug/bugged.htm

I'm not a coding expert so if I'm doing something wrong- let me know.  It is a
very annoying bug though, as this is the main (index.htm) webpage at my website
and I edit it frequently.

It is normally done for the links on the html webpage where the browser would
automatically change it back to the way it was upon HTTP GET/POST submission. 
But in this case, it's an image tag with a source path, not an anchor link or
form submission tag.  So, I think Composer can't tell the difference because the
image doesn't fit in that category.

(Can't test editor within the current v2.0a1pre, as it's quite broken.)
