How to take file names for graphics from XML?

[Roges Grandi <ro...@intra.procergs.com.br>]

One way to put images into documents  is simply to declare:

              <fo:external-graphic
                src="file:my-file.jpg"/>
            </fo:block>

Ok. But if I wish to take the file source name from the XML?

I'm trying to use a variable to capture the file name from XML, but src
attribute doesn't deal with variables. When I compile the following FOP returns
"ERROR while creating area : no protocol: $my-image"

 <xsl:variable name="my-image">
       <xsl:value-of select="logo"/>
</xsl:variable>

<fo:block>
    <fo:external-graphic  src="$logotipo"/>
</fo:block>

That's XSLT, not XSL....
