The problem with this is that your images need to reside in the root folder,
which can get cluttered if you have a lot of graphics.  More that one person
has thought of creating an images folder at the root level, which then
necessitates:

<dtml-var "images.logo">,
<dtml-var "PARENTS[-1].images.logo">, or
<dtml-with images><dtml-var logo></dtml-with>.

Only the middle of these three gives you an absolute path name on the image.

At least that's what I've discovered.  There may be a more elegant solution
:-)

Cheers...
