::shyly admitting ignorance he asked::
why would the height and width being reqired mess with the text only
browsers? would they allocate the space for an image they cannot show? if
so, this seems rather silly. there must be some way to make them only be
able to see the ALT attribute and therefore not have a problem with the
height and width.
it would be a real shame if we couldn't eventually make H&W required. they
do so help the speed of the rendering.

my heart; should I find such a one I shall
at once accept it. ... But I can no more
return to that from which with such
suffering I have escaped, then a flying bird
can re-enter the egg shell from which it
has emerged. "He who begins by loving
Christianity better than truth, will proceed
