align="right" is rather essential, for <del> to have any
effect you need <s><del>, <ol> oddities were discussed here
recently, and for colours you need even <font>. As long as
it's only decorative you could drop colours, deletions, and
align=, but sometimes it's semantically important.

Just usable, not identical. From my POV I can reduce it to
align= and a few similar cases, no deprecated tags.

No more target= in <base> or no more <base> without href=,
IIRC, and no text outside of block level elements. Maybe I
confuse it, I tested it only once.
