>Additional information about graphics files can be used to improve
the presentation of images. In particular, passing the height and width
of a graphic to a web browser improves layout and alternative text should
always be used. Image library files provide a mechanism for passing this
information to the DocBook DSSSL Stylesheets.</P

allows the image library file to be in XML while the documents may be
in SGML. If you're formatting XML documents, you can move the image
library into the same directory as your documents.</P
