Sorry, that didnt really work - I got a set of results, the first of which is an image of Einstein's house in Princeton:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=images&titles=Albert%20Einstein&format=xml 

I want the first result to be the one in the infobox on the Einstein page, which does appear before the image of his house. Is there a way to sort images based on location in the page? Maybe that is to use action=render, with blacklist dictionary for standard images?

Thanks
Anand

That's because [[Albert Einstein]] exists on enwiki (among others),
not on mediawikiwiki.
