I sometimes enjoy the ability to clone images that have no src or no width
or no style. I certainly like to vary the height and width attributes via
setAttribute, and I might like, in the future, to be able to attach an
<animate> tag (ala SMIL) to the height or width attribute of an <img>. If I
had to do this through CSS, it would be a minor setback.
<img src="hoopla" height="50" width="40" alt="oscillating image of hoopla">
<animate attributeName="width" values="10;100;10" dur="4s"
repeatCount="indefinite">
</img>

If a page is dependent on the css, then, although in a separate file, it
is fundamentally not separate at all, and we might as well just shove the
css into the same html file anyway.

I never proposed that a web page should be dependant on CSS, nor did I say
that there shouldn't be a separation of content and style. Quite the
opposite.
I said that if there is no CSS available for an <img> tag, the browser
should just display the image the best it can(and they do this quite well
already, in my experience). And that this very rare occasion of CSS
failure does not warrant the mandatory requirement of in-line styling of
the <img> tag.
