True, but unlike 'row' and 'col' for textarea which are required, all
attributes you have mentioned are implied [1]. What makes these different?
I agree that there should be NO presentation attributes in XHTML strict, but
if we are to have some why would they be required?
[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
Ah, you're right, forgot about that...that's even worse, definitely. And
yes, based on the definition of those attributes, there's really nothing
beyond the presentation intended
"This attribute specifies the number of visible text lines. [...] This
attribute specifies the visible width in average character widths."
Maybe somebody from the W3C HTML list could enlighten us as to why these
attributes were kept as required? Is it just for backwards compatibility?
