(ALIGN, WRAP, etc.) These are convenience attributes. When there become too many of them, HTML becomes a big, complex language and that's inconvenient. I would argue that there are already too many of them, and that they continually confuse and mislead people. I don't think that there is an SGML-compatible way to specify an extension interface for attributes. Otherwise we could take them out of the HTML standard and treat them as a "standardized formatting extension." It would at least be clear to people that they were _not_ like the other parts of HTML.
