Not to me, but I guess it's subjective. Suffixing class names with "Host" so 
that it's easier to explain how to design host apps is no good excuse for 
lack of documentation :-) (I'm not saying there should be some doc already, 
it's quite early for this).
The data in ImageInfoHost is shared between multiple instances of ImageInfo, 
so to me it makes sense to call this ImageInfoShared.

Give me the time to upgrade my box (=> busy DSL line) and have lunch, then 
I'll be there.
