aargh no, please. @facs generally points to a container which contains
a graphic, so that way madness lies. The shorthand of @facs pointing to
an external graphics file is an aberration which I'd be reluctant to build on.

As I said, I claim
  <graphic url="foo.png" facs="#area52"/>
is a possibly valid bit of markup.
