Are you sure the result should be used as the imageData of an image 
rather than its text?

I don't know exactly what is stored in WordML; but my understanding is 
that the text of an image is the actual binary content of the image 
file, while the imageData is a Rev-proprietary representation of the 
image as currently displayed.
