If I understand Lex correctly, then
image:http://some.url/some.image.png[] is not valid AsciiDoc, it's not
supposed to work. The User Guide seems to imply this as well,
"<target> file name paths are relative to the location of the
referring document." However, it does work! I just tried. Is this an
unintended feature? Unless it's "fixed", Jeremy's request makes sense,
I'd say.
