I just wanted to say the existing minimal set, deprecated or not in the HTML4 dtd, is good to keep. b, i, u. pre is ugly but so simple and widely used it shouldn't be touched. sup and sub. I'm not far from thinking the align attribute is a good thing. semanticless elements div and span are immensely important. On another hand, big and small are bad, because handling nested big or small elements is painful in an editor. > Personally, I think <font> restricted to use by WYSYWIG editors (note, > <font> doesn't have to be just a font setting, it is for any purely > presentational application of additional style) is probably sufficient > for most needs, but I could be missing something. font is cool but font is really painful and harmful. Setting font sizes through font seems to me a danger for interoperability. </Daniel>
