I observed the following behavior:

I usually use the 2. because my subdocuments are independent projects with separate resources. Unfortunately not all backends implement the 2. correctly yet.
For example the html4 and odt backends do not therefore my projects do not compile with these backends.

The ODT backend is a separate project, please file an issue on its site.

Data-uri is not supported by HTML, only xhtml and html5.

They should all follow type two, but there is a bug(s).

@Stuart, documentation says images are relative to the referring document. Data-uri correctly uses {indir}/{imagesdir}/{target} but non data-uri uses {imagesdir}/{target} which makes them relative to the working directory (if {imagesdir} is not absolute), not the document directory. It is therefore wrong if for example the document is an included document from another directory, or asciidoc wasn't run in the document directory.

Documentation doesn't mention absolute being accepted, but I'll bet there are lots of documents that depend on that :( so it isn't just as simple as sticking an {indir={outdir}} on the front for non-datauri I don't think.

Cheers Lex

I don't know exactly what is expected of me. We do exactly the same thing as e.g. the xhtml backend.

Yes, I posted a bug report there too. https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de&fromgroups#!topic/asciidoc/yazroFPc4ow Maybe it is better to wait, how they resolve this issue and then just copy the solution into your sources.
