this is may be a long-shot, but what about allowing all files from the /images/ directory
and excluding images from any other directory? the assumption being that icons and other
"helper" images will come from directories other than /images/.

Obscure in what sense? I would expect mainpage images to get more clicks than all those
exceptions.
Anyway, do you have examples of exceptions were adding either link= or
class="metadata" would not be a good idea even irrespective of MediaViewer? Most
exceptions I've seen so far would benefit from either being marked as not part of the
article content, or marked as "not really an image but something tricky" (CSS
magics - a lot of other tools than lightboxes will have trouble with these). Also, for
most "tricky" images going to the description page on click is really horrible
behavior (see e.g. this issue).
