I did this a little while ago, with the help of Bob. I marked all the links
that I wanted to convert with a "relative" Role. (This wasn't a problem for
me, as I was already converting the files from another format. If adding an
attribute to all of your relative links is a problem, maybe you could try
and parse href attribute somehow).
This is the customization I have for FO (overriding the fo-external-image
template):
<xsl:template name="fo-external-image">
<xsl:param name="filename"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$fop.extensions != 0">
<xsl:value-of select="$filename"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="./@role = 'relative'">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('url($prefix, $filename, ')')"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('url(', $filename, ')')"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Hope this helps!
