Margin would seem to be more useful, as it puts space between the border and
the surrounding elements...?

Who says? I'm working on a site right now where I have some images floated
left or right AND have padding around them (so the text doesn't bunch up on
them), all set with INLINE styles (in the IMG tag), and the Homesite and W3C
XHTML validators have absolutely no problem with this. An image (and any
other element) CAN have padding. It's possible and extremely useful. Here's
a sample IMG tag that validates:

<.img src="(image)" alt="Image 1" style="width: 75px; height: 100px;
padding: 0px 5px 5px 5px; float: right;" />

Since it validates, then I would say that images CAN have padding. ;-)
