... however this does not degrade well in older, non-CSS browsers, leading
to ugly borders around all hyperlinked images ...

<tip type="Retaining Legacy Browser Share">
yes, new browsers are cool, but to retain older browser share on a
content-rich site, always allow degradation as much as you can, so that
those who haven't upgraded, or cannot upgrade, their browser can get as rich
an experience as those with Flash/CSS/Java(Script)/etc
