Chris,
It isn't always the case when you process a file with Saxon (and Xerces and
the Jakarta XML commons resolver) that it writes out full paths for images.
Can you provide more information?
Is this with a DocBook 5 document?
Have you tried setting the parameter keep.relative.image.uris to 1 (zero
is the default)?
