Description Simon Pieters 2009-09-03 12:24:18 CEST

"Warning: The border attribute is obsolete. Consider specifying a img, img[usemap] { border: 0; } in CSS instead."

This ruleset will be dropped in IE6 because it doesn't support attribute selectors.

The following is sufficient:

img { border: 0; }

changed to what you suggested, but I wonder if we actually might want to go ahead and just change it to say, "Use CSS instead" with the hyperlink to the Wiki page you created.
