A Xagyl 440MHz Mini-PCI card and an Alix3D2 board would make for a powerful packet node!

Brian, You read my mind.
You all have to excuse John, K7VE. He represents North West Digital and has a bias. They have been trying to develop a 70 cm data radio for a while.
Same goes if you are on other lists and he brings up the DVSI/AMBE patents, as NWDigital sells a hardware AMBE device.
The Oct 2013 ARRL proposal to modernize the rules for data transmissions appears stalled. So yes, if there is an image use, its classified as an image transmission, Not Data. The first person to use this angle was the late John Stevensen, KD6OZH. It has since been used by David Bern, W2LNX (2012 DCC), myself and others to experiment with the Doodle Labs and Xagyl 70cm 802.11 devices.
Maybe we need to petition the FCC ourselves? I can't say I always fell the ARRL represents what we are doing very well. And their proposal did squat for VHF/UHF in my opinion.

Just remember, in the US, that 70cm data must fit in 100 kHz and be 56 kbauds (Same on the 219 Mhz band), but this is interesting work.
