See similar issue OFFICE-3463

In 10.4.4, the image (however obtained) is apparently parked in the <office:binary-data> and the only allowed attribute on <draw:image> is the <draw:filter-name>.  (There can be no xlink:href and the defaults for the other xlink attributes are apparently not relevant.)

All that 10.4.5 <office:binary-data> provides base64binary of the image, but we are given no clue what the represented image format is. 

Although there is a "should" about [SVG] and [PNG] but no indication how to tell what the <office:binary-data> represents (and if this case is relevant to [SVG], but if not, how is the SVG included in the element, or is that not provided for?)

It is unclear how there is a choice to represent the image any other way than in binary data, unless the alternative is always with xlink:href and it is not permitted to cache the retrieved image in the <draw:image> element (because it would then not be refreshable).

This is seriously underspecified as well as not being interoperably implementable from the information provided.

Although ODF 1.1:9.3.2 is not much more specific.  There, the XLink information is described as not necessary when the <office:binary-data> is present, but it is not described as forbidden.
