A:
The same as in HTML 4.01. You can count them on the attributes table.

Probably. W3Schools is often wrong. Why do you mention that nasty little commercial organization though? I didn't mention them in my answer.

+1. I chuckle to myself everytime someone mentions W3Schools, just because I've come to expect a comment from you expressing your hatred of them ;-)

Hang on. "w3c schools"? There's no such entity. There is "the W3C" and there is "W3Schools". Two completely separate organizations, related only by the WWW.

XHTML 1.0 is HTML 4.01 in XML. There isn't any difference in the elements and attributes except those imposed by being XML (which basically means `xmlns` and mixed namespaces). And what does "border" have to do with anything? It hasn't been mentioned previously in this question.

You've seen the official answer above, but I would urge you to think more about why you would use width and height attributes in some instances and CSS in others.
With images, for example, usually every image on a page would be a different size. The size is also a property of the image itself and unrelated to the page layout. Therefore, you should normally use the width/height attributes on images.
The only exception is if you have a set of images all with the exact same dimensions (e.g. thumbnails in an image gallery). In this case, set a class on the wrapping element and target those images in CSS. The same approach may also apply to flash objects, if they're mad to fit a certain pixel size.
For pretty much every other element, use CSS instead of the attributes, because that would all be related to layout.
