Deprecated attributes and elements[1] point where we want to be, not where we are. If they could safely just "drop" them then they would have done so. Instead they deprecated them to point the direction that browsers and authors should be going. Paul Prescod [1] The new spec. is quite clear that your usage of the word "tag" is incorrect. It always was, but now it says so outright.
