Mike.  I'll just go over what I got out of your post.  For the
Textarea situation in first post:  6.4.4 Precedence of non-CSS
presentational hints  That says:  1. cols is a presentational
attribute. 2. If the UA decides to use it, it should be
translated to a css width with a specificity equal to 0 and act
as if it was inserted at the beginning of the first stylesheet.
3. If a css width for the textarea is defined, it will therefore
override the previous css width that was generated from the cols
So, right there, that says if you define a css width, it
*overrides* the width generated by the cols attribute.
