I don't think that section 12.2 satisfies the issue.  What is wrong
with defining the elements and attributes where an implementor of
"text/html" is going to need to know about them and simply mark those
features as deprecated?  For example, <a name> has required processing
associated with it, so why not just define that under <a>?
