Not that it changes your XSLT problem, but this is inappropriate TEI
encoding of the information. If "somepic" is a description of the
image, it belongs in a <figDesc> child of <figure>:
              <figure url="/images/image.jpg">
                <figDesc>somepic</figDesc>
              </figure>
(Also the url= attribute is not part of vanilla TEI P4, but extension
of TEI to put this attribute on <figure> is almost ubiquitous.)

Where is this remote host information? Since TEI P4 doesn't have an
xml:base= attribute, I doubt it is there. Where is it stored, or how
is it handed to your XSLT?
