Hello,

I have some screenshots to include as part of a user manual I'm compiling
with DocBook, and several are on white backgrounds and contain mainly text,
so doesn't mix well with other text layout on the page.  I tried to find
out how to add a border by regarding DocBook XSL documentation,
specifically:

- http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/BordersAndShading.html
- http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Graphics.html

..and the best I could do was following the second link, add a border
around the <figure> element (so it not only goes around the image, but also
around the <title>, leaving a lot of whitespace around the image).

I then tried working out how add borders using the first link instead, so
that I'd only outline the image itself, but none
of <mediaobject>, <imageobject>, or <imagedata> appear in the list of
elements that recognize the attribute-sets referred to there.  A little
further on, it says "you will want to find out where the outer fo:block is
output..." but I don't know what I'm looking for based on that advice, nor
how to find it, nor what to do with it (I'm a bit worried that I might
accidentally clobber something too by matching the template in a
higher-precedence customization layer).

Thanks,
Christopher
