On there being a 'strict' version - yes.
As for deprecation, no, I don't believe there was. Just as an example,
I disagree with you in that I feel CENTER should be deperecated in favor
of DIV align=center but I believe FONT should stay since it is useful and
I think trying to force Style Sheet use for simple things like that is
insane. The only problem with FONT is the COLOR attribute and that is a
fault in the implementation *not* in the tag itself.
