The need for the rows and cols attributes can be seen once you imagine
the page without any CSS styling. Similarly, the requirement for the
size attribute on a text input element and width and height on img the

Ultimately CSS may not be available on all the devices for which we
design and default rendering of unstyled elements will vary.
Personally, I find this type of answer quite dangerous, as it leads to a
slippery slope. Yes, the default rendering of browsers may be different
when CSS is not available, but does that mean we then still have to
stuff visual cues in HTML? The same rationale would warrant the use of
font colours, sizes, etc, imho.
