Mozilla gives you no indication that an image was supposed to be there
unless there is an ALT value. If the images are style to display block
then it will act as a BR, and will be really odd looking if you have
dimensions set for the image! Requiring the ALT parameter is a good idea
IMO regardless of current practice, where it does make sense is with the
infamous spacer.gif but the flaw in that practice is obvious!
