The spec has never required them

If you don't tell the browser what size the image is, then it can't
know until it has downloaded the file, this can result in documents
being reflowed when the image has downloaded which muck up links to
fragment identifiers and cause problems for users who started to read
and scroll before that time.

I'd generally advise specifying the height and width.
