It was changed because the old test needed improvement, not on a whim.

Old HTML_WEB_BUGS rule wasn't a very good discriminator between HTML
spam and HTML ham.  In other words, it had about the same S/O ratio as a
generic test for HTML.  The new rule has a significantly higher S/O
ratio, although it doesn't hit as much spam since it's more specific.

The new rule requires that height and width be specified and that
/\.(?:pl|cgi|php|asp|jsp|cfm)\b/i match the SRC attribute.

(S/O = spam/overall)
