It does. That's why the result is "../images/duck-small.png".

But the problem is that chapter1.xml is located in chaps/ and
output.html isn't. So what's "correct" from the point of view of the
XIncluded file *isn't* correct from the point of view of the generated
HTML.

And of course this can be made more complicated by chunking into a
different hierarchical structure than the input :-/

I'm not sure how the entityref case can be made relative. As far as I
can tell, unparsed-entity-ref() always returns the absolute URI. I
did, however, fix the bug where I dropped it from the stripping
process accidentally.
