Image import

There is an "undocumented" feature in the importer module: Image import Eye-wink

(Something like) this should be added to the schema description:

/store/products/product/image (Container; No, unbounded; Container for the image data.)
/store/products/product/image/path (String; Yes, 1; Path to the source file.)
/store/products/product/image/title (String; No, 1; Image title.)
/store/products/product/image/alt (String; No, 1; Image alternate text.)

Perhaps the documentation should also remind us that for image import to function, images must be uploaded with FTP to the source directory specified in the path element prior to running the importer.

I'm not sure how it is defined in Drupal (or Image cache?) which image file types are supported and if there is a limitation to the size of the source files. Maybe a reference to these could be made in the documentation too.

Finally, what kind of surprises me is that apparently no addition (path, title, alt) was necessary to the schema.
