Ah, clients. Damn them!

<h1><img src="heading.png" height="60" width="300" alt="Things To Make 
And Do"></h1>

Browsers that don't understand images will use the alt text instead, so 
will effectively produce:

<h1>Things To Make And Do</h1>

Using an object tag is arguably even better, but lack of decent support 
in a particular mainstream browser rules this out for "real world" 
projects.
