 I notice that get_avatar() returns a complete image tag.

 {{{
         if ( !empty($email) ) {
                 // Some code...
                 $avatar = "<img alt='' src='{$out}' class='avatar
 avatar-{$size}' height='{$size}' width='{$size}' />";
         } else {
                 $avatar = "<img alt='' src='{$default}' />";
         }
 }}}

 Even more peculiar is that in the else block, there is no CSS class for
 the image tag. This makes it difficult for the Gravatar to be controlled
 directly by CSS.

 Is it possible to allow designers to pass another option to get_avatar()
 telling it to just return the URL to the avatar instead?
