Thanks for the answer. I'll try to comment on the options, but please
read the last paragraph before flaming me! :)

Ok. Can't do that with CSS.

Could be done with display:none, but...

Aside from the linked icon this is in place - I'd have talked to the
designer to just remove that from his design :)

Or border-style:dotted.

Again, display:none

True (although not always).

I don't want to pull your leg on this! I'm just curious on what can
actually be done with CSS alone (and there were some great links on
the list the last days...). And often I have the feeling that a lot of
people (inlcuding me) are focused on fonts and colors, when it comes
to CSS.
