Resolving ENTITY attributes

entity attributes
Reading the XSLT spec, I don't see a way of resolving ENTITY-type
attribute values.  

If I am using XSLT to produce HTML from my XML source, one obvious
transformation is to convert ENTITY attribute values to strings
containing the actual URL of the target.  

Thus I would want to render the <xmlimg> element in e.g. (where the src
attribute is of type ENTITY):

<!DOCTYPE xmldoc ... [
<!ENTITY img1 SYSTEM "image1.gif" NDATA gif>
...
]>
<xmldoc>
...
<xmlimg src="img1"/>
...
</xmldoc>

as:

<IMG SRC="image1.gif">

in the resulting HTML.

Is there a way to do this?  If not, I think there should be.

Richard Light.
