It's because images are inline elements. Essentially, HTML treats an image as
if it were a letter (that's what being "inline" means).
So if you had code like:
<p>
a
a
a
a
</p>
You would expect your output to be "a a a a", not "aaaa". With images, it's
the same. As a result, I find that it's usually more useful to add img
{display:block} to my style sheet, because images have borders, and padding,
and margins, and height, and width, which inline elements don't have, but
block elements do.
The reason they're inline, i think, is that like letters (and unlike divs)
images have inherent dimensions (the image has a predefined "natural" size).
