This is something that albatross currently doesn't do, and it's been
annoying many of us for some time. The solution is to extend Albatross
to provide a mechanism to evaluate any attribute, so you could do
something like:

        <al-input type="image" al-src="foo(3,4)" />

Unfortunately, that doesn't help you. It doesn't help me, either -
I ran into exactly the same problem yesterday.

Note that you can't nest albatross tags (so Matt's suggestion won't work,
unfortunately).
