Clarification Needed: Keyref on <image>

[ekimber <ekimber@reallysi.com>]

In 1.2, the <image> element takes both the href= and keyref= attributes.

My reading/interpretation/assumption is that for <image>, href= and keyref=
establish the same relationship, namely from the <image> element to a
graphic object of some sort, where the default presentation intent is for
the graphic to be presented with the other content of the topic (as opposed
to creating a link to the graphic presented in a separate presentation
space).

In particular, I think these two image elements should be functionally
equivalent:

1. <image href="http://example.com/graphics/image-01.jpg"/>

2. <image keyref="image-01"/>

where the effective key binding is:

<keydef keys="image-01"
href="http://example.com/graphics/image-01.jpg";
format="jpg"
/>

Is this reading correct? I think it has to be otherwise the normal fallback
behavior from keyref to href would not make sense for <image>.

However, I can imagine that some might have or might think that keyref on
<image> is intended to function like keyref on <keyword>, where it
establishes a link from the image (separately referenced by href) to the
target of the key reference. I don't think that interpretation is what we
intended but I want to make sure.

Cheers,

Eliot
