An example of prior art?

http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/imageobject.html

<mediaobject>
  <imageobject>
    <imagedata fileref="figures/eiffeltower.eps" format="EPS"/>
  </imageobject>
  <imageobject>
    <imagedata fileref="figures/eiffeltower.png" format="PNG"/>
  </imageobject>
  <textobject>
    <phrase>The Eiffel Tower</phrase>
  </textobject>
  <caption>
   <para>Designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1889, The Eiffel Tower is one of the
most widely recognized buildings in the world.
</para>
  </caption>
</mediaobject>


Many media have both an image and a brief narrative for context provision?
What is the rationale for this restriction please?

If presentational information is to be contained within the source xml
rather than a styling preference, yes a location attribute would
provide this.
I can't provide a source level example, but for a styling based customisation
