I want say, just about figure tag.
sgml document can include external image file.

in sgml

<para>
<figure>
<title>Some Image</title>
<graphic fileref="images/some_image.jpg">
</figure>
</para>

then make html command generate below html code

<P
> <DIV
CLASS="FIGURE"
><A
NAME="AEN126265"
></A
><P
><B
>Figure E-1. Some Image</B
></P

><IMG
SRC="images/some_image.jpg"></P

I asked how maintenance that some_image.jpg file.
I think that is so difficult, because new release document might change
these too.
if use svg module for docbook, document sources will are maked very
dirty.
