what we do in LaTeX in this situation is (where possible) specify the
image independant of format, specifically
\includegraphics{file} rather than say \includegraphics(file.pdf}.
\includegraphics{file} will typically include file.eps if producing
postscript, file.pdf if producing pdf, and in some on screen preview
drivers will include file.gif or some other bitmap format, so as long as
the image is available in multiple formats the source document can be
processed to different target rendering formats, including a suitable
image format in each case.
An FO processor could do something similar of course using content
negotiation or equivalent mechanisms, the URI used to specify the
external graphic can return the graphic in different file formats
depending on what mime types are acceptable, so in principle
an FO renderer could do something similar. Perhaps soem do, I'm not
sure.
