Re: embed images
You're right. The URL protocol handler would have been simple. Probably the easiest way is to modify org.apache.fop.image.FopImageFactory. The Make method gets the URL string and tries to get an InputStream. VFS? At one time I suggested using the Source(Resolver) mechanism from Avalon which originally came from the Cocoon project. It provides some sort of VFS which could be used to do the kind of stuff you need. But this is future talk and will take some time to implement.
