An element pseudoclass does have the benefit of applying to broken links as
well as no-image settings.  Mozilla already has a prefixed pseudoclass for
this case.  However, it puts constraints on which *other* elements you can
effect with the selector (needs to be a direct sibling after the missing
image in the DOM tree).  This limits the use for doing things like
un-hiding text labels and captions.  Still better than nothing, of course.
