Well, no, actually! And even if I did have some kind of public 
webserver access, I think I'd prefer not to have to access the WAN 
just to show an image on my portal page.

Fortunatly, I have no urgent need to use images on my portal page ;)

But... IMHO, it should be left to the user to decide what should go 
where, especially since I get the impression that m0n0wall already has 
everything needed for this (not only the http server, but even the 
code for uploading files and for moving them to RAM at bootup etc.) I 
certainly don't see any reason for activly preventing such use of 
m0n0wall, even if you don't want to spend time making a nice webGUI 
page for it (which would be nice though!)

Who knows, some people might like the idea of having m0n0wall serve a 
small web site on their LAN, or perhaps some kind of auto-configure 
script for setting up their clients TCP/IP or Proxy settings or stuff 
like that?

Well, just my opinion. As always I will defer to your judgement, which 
have so far brought us the best firewall in the world ;)
