The presence of HTML width/height attributes don't prevent us from
changing image-dimensions through CSS, so there's no conflict between
HTML attributes and CSS here.
Those HTML attributes can also be left out at will, so I simply can't
see any problems in keeping them in some guidelines - unless those
guidelines are saying that those attributes *must* be used in a certain
way, which deviates from standards.

I have noticed a few browser-bugs that may disturb layouts where images
have no declared dimensions. Other than that there's only those rare
cases where images are resized in CSS, and the user for whatever reason
turns CSS off...
