title: Downside of "display: block" for images?
body: <p>Is there any downside to converting <code>img</code> from inline-block elements into block objects with the <code>display: block</code> CSS property?</p>
  
  <p>Most of the time, I want them to be <code>block</code> elements. Any useful <code>inline</code> aspects that I am losing? (Perhaps I am not seeing <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13111136/why-is-there-a-pesky-little-space-between-img-and-other-elements">some</a> as useful?)</p>
  
  <p>Should all images be converted into <code>block</code> elements by default? Why are they inline-block elements according to spec?</p>
  
  <p><em>P.S. I am asking this with considerations for layout via positioning &amp; floats, and surrounding elements.</em></p>
