Take a look at the FO element <fo:external-graphic/>. It's pretty 
straightforward; the syntax is analogous to HTML <img/> except of course 
(it being FO) you can do many more things with it. So in your case you'd 
just transform your <Source> element into the <fo:external-graphic/> 
assigning its value (text content) to the src attribute. Your <Title> and 
<Description> you'll probably want in appropriately-styled block elements 
near by.

Let us know if you need something more specific (and haven't already got it).

Cheers,
Wendell
