Roughly:

<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "..." "..." [
<!NOTATION HTML SYSTEM "some URI you happen to like">
<!ENTITY myHTML SYSTEM "path/to/file.html" NDATA HTML>
]>
<book>
...
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata entityref="myHTML"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
...
</book>

But that would require a fair amount of customization for most
publishing tools. Steve may be using a tool that has NDATA support,
but most don't.
