I've no idea really what you mean by scalable in this context.

The syntax for the url attribute in xsl:external-graphic is
src="url('filenamehere.jpg')"
The url('  ...') is boilerplate that unfortunately has to be there as
the WG were having an off-day and copied CSS syntax into XSL FO rather
than just the semantics of the properties, as they'd done elsewhere. 
(Note I omitted the ' in my suggested code last time)

I believe that some FO processors don't enforce this weirdness and allow
you to go src="filenamehere.jpg" but in any case I don't see how
"scalability" applies to your template: all the generated
fo:external-graphics should generate a synatx error unless they all have
url(' ') or if the processor does not enforce that, they should all work.
