Pardon me if this is a bit nieve, but this seems like an ugly hack for something
that should be included in CSS by default. Images with transparency are a nice
feature nowadays, and to cut them out altogether is not a good solution. Neither
are classes applied specifically to image links. This is essentially putting
style back into the HTML, which CSS was trying to avoid in the first place.

I can see 3 classes of links that could be dealt with independently: image
links, text links, and "anchors" for internal links. Are there any plans in CSS3
to do this?
