David:

Ah, the reason is to keep image distortion from happening for IE6 and under.

Interesting, I've never seen that happen with IE6 and considering 
that IE5 fell below 1% this year, I don't think I'll clutter up my 
html with width and height attributes anytime soon. Besides, it seems 
so anti-css to do that, if you know what I mean.

In any event, thanks for the info.

Cheers,

tedd
