Not easily.  Which isn't to say it's not worth looking into to or
figuring out how to do.  Originally it was

   <img src='\$LinkUrl' border='0' alt='\$LinkAlt' />

but "border=" is no longer a valid attribute in XHTML, so we have
to use some sort of CSS to get rid of the borders, thus I ended
up with

   <img src='\$LinkUrl' style='border:0px;' alt='\$LinkUrl' />

But, as you say, this makes it awfully hard to style images.
Thinking about it now, I'm guessing the solution is to change to

   <img src='\$LinkUrl' alt='\$LinkUrl' />

and then put 

   img { border:0px; }

into the <style> section.  This does have the side effect of
changing the default border for all images on the page, but 
in my experience borderless images are far more common than 
bordered ones, and it'd be pretty easy to find ways to override
it.  A site admin can easily customize $ImgTagFmt and the
styles to go back to PmWiki's original settings.

So, unless anyone makes some objections to this, that's what I'll 
probably do.
