Also, width and height attributes for images allow the image to load faster because the browser doesn't have to figure out the dimensions.
News to me... the browser works out the dimensions of the image anyway.
Including the width and height attributes has advantages, however... as it allows browsers to set out the dimensions of the page before the image loads, meaning that there's no more skew-wiff web-page layouts as the image loads.
This shouldn't really affect us, the standards people, but it does affect those who still rely on the evil of:
<table> <TR backimage=sumtilinimage.img><td><img src=spacer.gif/>/></tr> </TABLE>
...Not that I'd ever write anything like that ;)
