As DocBook may be later transformed to another format, I think that we
should give all the formats.  in any case, it seems to me the intent of
DocBook.

  The primary purpose of the InlineMediaObject is to provide a wrapper
  around a set of alternative presentations of the same information.

We could have an more sensible order, though.
