Right, okay, sorry.  We've been through this one many times since I've 
been on Council, and I have trouble remembering it.  I must admit that I 
find the distinction meaningless for the <graphic> element in 
particular, but if others feel that what we need is @url and not @facs, 
so be it.

It's only been out in the wild for a day or two, right?  I don't think 
it would break Birnbaum to remove the possibility of graphic at facs 
(somehow) if we really feel it's best.
