I actually tried this with imagedata (see next line:)

 <imagedata fileref="basicendings/graphics/KpFLK1X2000" format="EPS"/>

This works, even for html output, where I am actually using the
stylesheets to select png as the default extension.

My first try was to omit the format="EPS" altogether - that worked for
html output (PNG file), but not for postscript (eps) or pdf (pdf).

I then tried specifying format="PNG" - same result.

but format="EPS" works for all.

Can anyone explain this (to me) curious behaviour? (using DocBook 4.0
XML and dsssl)
