Summary: shouldn't block IMG tag without SRC=

Initial Comment:
(Using privoxy-3.0.2-1 RPM on RedHat 7.1)

I don't know what Google are playing at, but they have
recently started drawing lines by using the following
as contents of some table cells:

     <img width=1 height=1 alt="">

Privoxy removes these, and the effect is that useful
grid lines are missing from the Google results pages
(particularly, the vertical grid line separating main
results from sponsored links).

Would be worth allowing all IMG tags which do not
specify a SRC= to pass through the filter.

Thanks
Alan

The HTML spec says "SRC" is required. I don't think we want
Privoxy to be working around every single thing people do
that directly breaks the spec.

In other words, "if you as a site break the spec, all bets
are off as to whether your page is going to work."

That's my $0.02 worth, though.
