Not very new; it's been in widespread use since Netscape 2.0 (pixel widths
have been around since Netscape 1.1 or earlier.  Although percentage widths
are not part of HTML 3.2, they are part of HTML 4.0 (so Thomas Dowling
didn't use them until recently, right? :-)).  See
<http://www.htmlcompendium.org/img.htm> for a general discussion of IMG
tags.  Note that some versions of browsers behave very nonintuitively if
only HEIGHT or WIDTH (not both) is specified, or when a percentage width is
specified for an IMG in a table cell where the width of that column depends
on the width of the cell.
