There is no need to change anything on DocBook side to support this.
Simply put data: into fileref attribute. There migh be needed some small
changes in XSL stylesheets in order to skip usual file path massaging.
Also I think that even data: should be wrapped in url() otherwise it
would be non-conforming to XSL-FO spec.
