The presentational images I am referring to are just borders for divs.  
They are not content, and their alt text should just be "" because they 
convey no information.  I would use the CSS border properties, but I 
want the corners to be rounded, and (correct me if I'm wrong) there is 
not good browser support for rounded corners of borders with CSS.  So 
presentational images are my only option.
