If you need these files to be opened with other apps, then something 
like RTF would be the way to go.  Given all the support Rev has built-in 
for things like base64, imageData, etc., I would imagine one could write 
RTFs with embedded images without much trouble.  Of course if you want 
these displayable in your app too you'll need to write an RTF parser 
than pulls the images back out again when reading.

If yours is the only app that will read these files, you could also 
consider saving a stack file as the document.
