<h> around images

Tom, I'm changing the thread to ask you about <h1><img src="logo.png"
alt="My Company" /></h1> ...

Is it alright to do this? A client of mine has a site where every page
title is a GIF ... I told them to rather change it to HTML text using an
<h1> header. Could I have told them to simply put <h1> tags around the
image?

Because of the resizing of text factor I think HTML text is a better
long term solution ... But on a tight budget it'd be better for them to
use <h1>'s around an image than ignore the problem completely.

Thanks
Steve
