Hm – I'm not too happy to see most of the original HTML-elements marked "not conforming" and "must not be used", thus preparing for browsers to eventually drop the support. There are still lots of web-sites and valuable information stored and archived in this format. Back in the day, it was thought that basic HTML was a format to last. Who is going to update these documents in order to make them conforming to future browsers? Or are we just dropping a decade of documentation? Is it worth it?

(Consider: Apparently, MS-Word docs or PDF prove longer lived than basic HTML documents! Who would have thought of this?)
