Let's suppose they are. 

It's a very interesting issue. I can think a way using parameter
entities, but not with automatic selection. 

Another alternative is having two stylesheets and letting the
stylesheet automatically choose the extension for the image, and using
two extensions for filenames (e.g. file.hi.eps and file.lo.eps). 

Are there other alternatives?
