Re: [docbook-apps] Appending image after xref (TOC vs. xref-to-suffix mode)

Hi Thomas,
I think you are understanding it correctly, and this seems to be a 
deficiency.  I agree that the "xref-to-suffix" and "xref-to-prefix" modes 
should get the referrer element as a param, as well as xrefstyle like 
"xref-to" does.
