Graphics in AbiWord files

Matt and others,
How does Abi store the graphic file in relation to the document that
it is embeded in?
In terms of HTML we would have the graphic be a separate file (as far
as the local viewer is concerned) but then integrated into the file when it
is sent to the browser. Thus objects in different formats are stored on disk
as separate files. But most Word Processors I've used stored the graphics as
part of the document file itself? This is obviously optimal from a user's
point of view because when they want to share the file they only have to copy
one file. But it doesn't exactly make sense from the program's point of
view.
If this is a capability of XML and I'm just ignorant, then please
let me know. Otherwise, I'm very interested in the method you all decided
to use to to associate the graphics files with the AbiWord documents.
