I'm pretty sure that with display: none any :before or :after content
should also not be displayed - as suggested by the selector, it is still
to some extent part of the img element. Remember that display: none
*cannot* be overridden on descendants - I think I would expect this to
hold for pseudo-elements too. I don't think there's any nice way around
this, at least before CSS3.
