Invalid computed reference to image with scope external

[raducoravu]

Let's say that in the DITA Map I define a key pointing to an image like this:

  <keydef keys="abc"
           href="/resources/figures/test.png" scope="external" format="png"/>

and then in the DITA topic I refer to the key:

      <image keyref="abc"/>

The HTML equivalent of the topic will contain something like this:

    <img class="image" src="file:/resources/figures/test.png">

so the publishing pre-pends to the original path a "file:" changing the original reference. This is bad because the origina href pointed to the root of the web server where the HTML will be loaded.
Shouldn't the @href attribute value been preserved exactly as it is because if was referenced using scope=external?
