[xep-support] Problem with external graphic when using embedding XEP 4.2

[Greg Ludington]

Thank you for the response.  The URLs in question are absolute,
however, and, when I set the system id explicitly in code, e.g.

jaxpsrc.setSystemId(foo);
style.setSystemId(bar);

I still see the same error.
