If the icon or image is imparting *any* kind of information, than it has a
value to it.  The question then becomes, what value - and if it's one of
those common icons that indicates that the link is external (or - horrors-
opens in a new window) then I would suggest that it is of value and should
be a foreground image complete with alt text.  The fact that it is being
associated to a hyperlink suggests that there is indeed a value to it...
Just my $0.02 worth.
