Yes.

Assuming a <img src="@path/foo.jpg"> example, where the docRoot of the 
seaside app is set to: "http://www.test.com/", it looks like it is 
trying to bind to a 'foo' instance variable, because it results in a 
walkback with message <Could not find value for key "foo">.  This is 
because of  an attempted <instVarNamed: 'foo'> lookup against my IATest 
instance, which of course errors because there is no "foo" instance 
variable.

But, if I instead just use <img src="@foo.jpg">, and instead put the 
image path in the docRoot (i.e., change the docRoot to: 
"http://www.test.com/path"), then it works like you said.
