Not that I want to encourage the use of XHTML, but the type
attribute[1], was deprecated and relegated to the Transitional
Doctypes in HTML 4, and remained in the Transitional doctype of XHTML
1.0 (which is a silly language to use on the WWW), and lets not bother
talking about XHTML 1.1 (which is an insane language to use on the
WWW).


[1] Not a tag. Its an attribute.
