It is not true that the user agent can "easily" turn them off. That would
require de-loading a certain image file, which may be specified using CSS
background properties.

every page (Flickr is an example, also Xplane's Xblog) show that people
find it handy. Something at the bottom of a page is pretty easy to ignore.
