HTML (ie6)

Another issue (maybe should start another thread :-):

XML

[
...
<!ENTITY  imgChecklist  SYSTEM  "images/checklist.gif"  NDATA  GIF>
...
]
...
               <listitem>
                    <simpara>
                        <emphasis>Any special instructions for packaging and 
handling</emphasis>
                        <inlinemediaobject>
                            <imageobject>
                                <imagedata depth="14pt" scalefit="1" 
entityref="imgChecklist"/>
                            </imageobject>
                        </inlinemediaobject>
                    </simpara>
                </listitem>
 ...

The ENTITY declaration resides within the doctype block; the itemizedList 
fragment resides in a separate <sect2> source file; linkage through nested 
xincludes. 
The resulting HTML source is not a relative image path but a fully qualified 
uri (full path specification). When utilzing fileref in lieu of entityref, 
the full path directory of the source files is prepended to a full path 
specification resulting in two file:// statements in the image src= output.

Problem only exists when xincludes are implemented.
