[xep-support] scale-when-image-is-too-big

[Clay Leeds]

Matthias,

Thanks very much for this! You've saved me a couple of days work... If this 
XSL were danke-ware, I'd say "Danken Sie einem Bündel!" (isn't Babelfish 
super!?)...

You mention that:

>(Actually this is a simplified version because I support pictures inside
>tables as well).

BTW, how would the code be different when tables are involved? I too am 
placing my picture inside of a table, and I've noticed that (in FOP) the 
width/height & content-width/content-height don't seem to have any effect 
(it could be because I'm typically scaling down).

Also, I notice you use "document($dataFile)" but it doesn't appear to be 
defined in the XSL below. Do you replace "$dataFile" with what you use to 
call the XML file with the graphics?

Thanks again!
