borders on images

[Michael Haseltine]

What sort of images or figures are allowed to have the border= attribute?
I've seen (and used) it with the img tag, but I gather that it's not strict
HTML, from one of the checkers. I works, at least with Netscape, but in the
interests of keeping 'proper', what kind of tag can I use to say border=0.
In the particular instance I'm working on, it's only a small icon, but I
don't want a blue box around it!

Thanks for any input you might offer,
