Many thanks,

It might not be exactly what you are looking for, but one option would be to include the image via an xinclude mechanism, and then include a xinclude fallback. It might go something like this:
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<xi:include fileref="../../images/coding-cycle.png">
<xi:fallback>Image file is unavailable.</xi:fallback>
</xi:include>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
You would need to use a DTD or schema (or at least a DTD fragment) that allows for use of xinclude.
I hope this helps,
Jim
