Perhaps omitted to work with some responsive design techniques for images.Not REQUIRED, but strongly recommended. If someone coded a page without width+height I would make them fix it.
When did it become optional? I thought it was required since, like, 3.2 or something. BTW, there was an old trick whereby if you gave only one dimension, say WIDTH=96, the browser would calculate the other to match the aspect ratio for you. Although now I put my images sizes in their filenames so my Perl scripts (and my eyes) can instantly parse it out (foo-bar-WWWxHHH.jpeg).
>> (d) apparently enforced alt text, inserted even if I delete it.I also would prefer deleting would result in an empty alt attribute, but I did find that if you enter a space, that works to make it " "All text is REQUIRED on all images. Omitting it or setting it to a space is an error, pure and simple.
How do you deal with purely decorative images? Their ALTs should not have "noise" in them. Old versions of Lynx would annoyingly put "[IMAGE]" when the ALT was set to "" but not when set to " " (so I used to do ALT=" " a lot); newer versions of the browser became smarter about ALT="", thankfully.

Lynx trick:
SPAN.hidden {display:none}
<SPAN CLASS=hidden> </SPAN> <!-- make up for lack of CSS padding -->
