Forbidden? Or just not to be supported in future browsers?

Hopefully, by the time HTML 4.0 becomes a full standard this will be
addressed by CSS2 implementations. In a CSS2 stylesheet you can specify how
INPUT images are displayed through the use of attribute selectors. For
example:
INPUT[SRC="/images/okbutton.gif"] {
border: none;
width: 20px;
height: 20px }
This declaration turns off the border when okbutton.gif is the INPUT image
and also specifies the size of the image.
(Not that I don't agree that an INPUT IMG should have the same HTML
attributes as any other IMG...)
