Attributes (what's this?)

• src (optional): A relative or absolute URI indicating the path to the object. May also contain the id of a glossary reference that must be identified as a URI using # before the id (<term src="#square">square</term>). If using a relative path, the file must reside within the module (not at the workspace or workgroup level). If using an absolute path, verify that the file storage location is stable and will not change.
• id (optional): A unique identifier, whose value must begin with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, and/or periods (no spaces).
