Here's my use case...I'm creating a team page in Confluence and I want to show the profile picture for each person on my team. The only way to go about doing this is to go to the user's profile page, right click on his profile picture, copy the image location, and then embed the profile picture as an image in the page. Not only is this time consuming and inelegant, the image on the page doesn't get updated when the user updates his/her avatar.

We make it easy to link to a person's profile page by typing [~username]. Perhaps we could embed a profile image with a macro like !~username!. If we're going to make Confluence 3.0 more people-centric it might be an opportune time to introduce this enhancement.

This seems to be a very common use case as seen in the following EAC pages:
