Two comments are in order here: 1. The guidelines document itself should comply to the HTML 4.0 strict DTD and take advantage of all relevant features of the HTML specification, especially in the marking up of the table which summarises its substantive requirements. 2. It is, and ought to be, mandatory for authors to comply with a W3C HTML DTD (or ISO HTML, assuming that the latter is adopted). Perhaps a note could be added in the explanatory text which calls the attention of page designers and software developers to the deprecated elements mentioned in the HTML 4.0 specification, which ought to be avoided in favour of style sheets, particularly when user agent developers have implemented the latter in a reasonably consistent manner.
