Wim,
   If you need to import graphics specified with entities, then you are 
better off using XSLT. As far as the export issue, try making the attribute 
rule a subrule of the rules for the graphic element:

    element "graphic" {
       is fm graphic element;
       attribute "entity" is fm attribute;
       }
