I put the images into a special folder in the media folder (media/plugin_abc) and further divided into their according namespaces. But each image has a (more or less unique) name, which stays the same name when re-generated (which is differently from the Graphviz plugin)! It gets simply overwritten.
How do you handle when one person looks at a previous version of the page while another person looks at the current version? How does the previous version of a generated image be seen and the current version be seen, at the same time? 

Good question! ;-)
I decided against showing any image at all in previous versions, I simply render the source with $renderer->file().
But as displaying the images is more important when previewing the page, I simply put an "x" in front of each image (which, in my case, otherwise always begin with a number). Normally, there cannot be more than one person previewing the page. So, the maximum number of images generated from one source is two. One for "show" and one for "preview" mode.
