xsl for an rdf file, src attribute won't create correct link to image file

06-09-2004

with the following xsl and xml file, the display of the gif file with
the <image/url> tag works. However, the gif file in the <description>
tag using the name attribute "src" won't make the correct link to the
gif file. why?

1. the description element from the namespace prefixed with lc has no
src attribute
2. there is no img element in the description element, just text
(<img ... /> is _not_ <img ... />).
