I never proposed that a web page should be dependant on CSS, nor did I 
say that there shouldn't be a separation of content and style. Quite the 
opposite.
I said that if there is no CSS available for an <img> tag, the browser 
should just display the image the best it can(and they do this quite 
well already, in my experience). And that this very rare occasion of CSS 
failure does not warrant the mandatory requirement of in-line styling of 
the <img> tag.
