RE: [docbook] referencing an image

Other options include:
 - add an xreflabel attribute to the graphic element; the XRef will then

 - Use a <link/> instead of an <xref/>.  This still gives you the automatic
linking using the linkend attribute, but you specify the text that will
appear in the link
