Unfortunately, this only works if the IMG's themselves are also the
hyperlinks (which may be possible with XHTML+XLINK but I am not sure).

Presumably your "images that are hyperlinked" look more like this:

<a href="http://www.w3.org/">
  <img alt="W3C" height="48" src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_home"
width="72">
</a>

And the focus border is actually on the <A> rather than the <IMG>, so you
need this style sheet:

<STYLE type="text/css">
A:focus { outline:none; }
</STYLE>
