Image callouts and roles

Image callouts and roles
I'm using role attributes and the docbook stylesheets (successfully) to use one image format when rendering to FO, and other when rendering to HTML (i.e. epub).

      <figure xml:id="foo"><title>Foo</title>

        <mediaobject>
          <imageobject role="fo">
            <imagedata fileref="images/DIT-local.pdf"/>
          </imageobject>

          <imageobject role="html">
            <imagedata fileref="images/DIT-local.png"/>
          </imageobject>

        </figure>

However I have a couple of images using callouts, and using roles like that doesn't seem to work:

          <screenshot>
            <mediaobject>
              <imageobjectco role="fo">
                <areaspec>
                  <area coords="50,443,129,463" xml:id="Setting_Up_init_user"/>
                </areaspec>

                <imageobject>
                  <imagedata fileref="images/MVC-DIT-structure.svg" scale="50"/>
                </imageobject>
              </imageobjectco>
          <imageobject role="html">

               <!--
                <areaspec>
                  <area coords="50,443,129,463" xml:id="Setting_Up_init_user"/>
                </areaspec>

                -->
        <imagedata fileref="images/MVC-DIT-structure.png" scale="50"/>
          </imageobject>
            </mediaobject>
          </screenshot>

The SVG is just a wrapper that references the similarly named PNG and then adds some callout bugs.

Rendering that to FO results in two images side-by-side. Not sure if that's a bug, or expected behaviour. It isn't what I want though.

However if I change the second imageobject to an imageobjectco, which seems the logical structure, the <area> is problematic - I have a single calloutlist that needs to refer to the "same" callout in either image. And I can't have two <area>s with have the same xml:id :-(

I hate image callouts! :-)

Is there a more correct way to organize my two alternate images?

Cheers,

Chris
