simply put, i think that the input ‘size’ field is now obsolete (like the rest of html styling outside of css), and most of the sizing attributes have been deprecated, so why not input.size?

That is a rhetorical question really… or an attempt at persuasive argument. You are right, though– it could easily be deprecated and CSS take over. As for why, that answer can only come from someone inside W3C who is part of the decision making process. You could also ask why cellpadding, cellspacing, and width properties are not deprecated in tables.
