RE: Including images and Cocoon 1.8.1-dev (Re: base dir)

[Mikko Honkala <Mi...@iki.fi>]

Relative URL (e.g. "./image.gif") means : fetch the image using the same
protocol as the document with the document's URL as the context URL [1].

FOP does not know the context URL e.g if DOM is given to it. Therefore there
should be means to explicitly set the context URL by the embedding
application.

We need to do this, but that ins't so easy: URI means protocol. What
protocol should we use (file, http) ?
But I agree that the base path should effecdtively be the XML file path.
