As I had linked to in my original reply, read also <http://hsivonen.iki.fi/almost-precedent/> and <http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/> Css 2 describes exactly what should happen to an image (inline element, baseline positioning by default). This caused web-compatibility issues (documented in both Henri's article and E. Meyer's article), and that is why 'almost standard mode' was introduced (by Gecko, and later Safari and Opera). 'almost standard mode' is nothing more than a fudge (slightly bending the specs) to compensate for (existing) bad web practices.
