Another reason your method is better: if you have a patterned and 
colored density instead of a grayscale one, you will need to specify 
multiple media statements with different density colors instead of 
putting both emitting and absorbing in one. This is even worse than the 
case you showed, with a grayscale density. Of course, using separate 
media statements *is* more powerful, just harder to do what is usually 
wanted...
