Exactly my point :)

Elsewhere in DB2LaTeX there is already use of @role="tex". What makes me
uncertain about it is that our imagedata handling won't work with plain
TeX, so "tex" is a bit of a misnomer. We could easily accept either
"tex" or "latex", but a decision would have to be made about whether
this was appopriate :)
