Exactly.  For the sake of brevity in my response to Bob's posting, 
I just included one <imageobject> with the GIF file.  However,
in all of my documents, my (vim) macro for <mediaobject> creates this:

  <mediaobject>
  <imageobject>
  <imagedata fileref="" format="EPS"/>
  </imageobject>
  <imageobject>
  <imagedata fileref="" format="JPG"/>
  </imageobject>
  <textobject>
  <phrase></phrase>
  </textobject>
  </mediaobject>

which I then fill out appropriately. It works great.  Like you mentioned,
I have one version for print, one for HTML and I also get text that can
be put into the ALT attribute of the HTML IMG tag.

I actually do not really ever find a place to use <inlinemediaobject>
in my docs, but it would be basically the same as above.

Regards,
Dan
