Another equally big problem is what happens if "content" is overridden
by another rule, e.g. by IMG { content:attr(alt) !important; } in the
user style sheet.
Then width and height should obviously also not be used (as their values
would not make sense anymore).
And maybe this older declaration also needed values for width and
height, that should not be overwritten by the new ones.
So the other way round there also exists an (implicit) "property
co-dependency".
