Agree. A good guide is to look at the page with CSS switched off. Does it still have meaning with some images missing? If images are decorative and in the CSS, no meaning should be lost. The reverse is also true. Is the page littered with unnecessary images that add no meaning? A page with CSS switched off should look clean, well marked up with the correct html elements and only critical images such as logos or content based images on the page.
