[Zope] IMG attributes in ZPT

[Casey Duncan]

Please file a collector issue for this.

The border is there by default because most browsers put a border around images when they are inside an anchor tag. Since most of the time people did not want this, they requested this feature.

A couple of fixes come to mind, like adding a "no_border" argument, or allow "border=''" to mean omit that attribute. Some other thoughts include adding a new "xtag" method that generates XHTML strict or a configuration option that tells Zope to generate strict code.
