A comment to the paragraph below was recently added via http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/ZPT.stx#2-49

---------------

    The 'tal:attributes' statement replaces the 'src' attribute of the
    'img' tag with the value of 'item/icon'.  The
    'src="/misc_/OFSP/Folder_icon.gif"' attribute in the template acts
    as a placeholder.

       But it also works if you omit the placeholder, at least on my Zope 2.5.1:

         <td><img tal:attributes="src foo/icon">
             <span tal:replace="foo/meta_type">Meta-Type</span></td>

       So is the 'src=...' placeholder redundant?  The above is rather unclear.

       It works, but if click "Browse HTML source" you get an unloaded image...

       /replaces the src attribute/replaces the value of the src attribute/

       shouldnt this be "src foo/icon.absolute_url" ? the path of, not the image.
