The image() pseudo-function accepts filenames but preferably *URLs*.
Therefore, something like that should work fine:
imagedata {
content:image(xpath("concat('http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/screenshots/', at
fileref)"),
-400, -100, smooth);
}
Suffice for attribute fileref to just contain the *basename* of the
image, and not its absolute path. Examples: macosx.png, linux.png,
docbook-table.png, etc.
Images accessed through a CGI or a servlet should work fine too.
