I don't think I ever "objected" per se.  I just felt people should
know there's another way to do it -- a way, I feel, that maintains
better separation between authors and document engineers.  I find it's
pretty common that authors who contribute to content might not be
capable and should not be required to maintain the infrastructure of
the build system.  The system I outline takes the burden of image
format conversion and selection off the authors and puts it on the
engineers.

I've never seen a single example in DocBook documentation out there
about this, so I wanted to point it out.
