In the Ansel Adams site the 63 images included take a total of 596 KB, and
the code in the index.html page takes 40 KB. So why should I be concerned as
to just what construct the code uses given that the download time for the
code is a minimal component of the total download time for the page,
especially given that the generated code works as intended on every browser
on which it was checked?

As an aside, an advantage of Freeway is that if a new release makes an
improvement in the generated code it is a trivial matter to re-upload the
site to benefit from that improvement.
