Oh, I think he read a bit too much of the HTML4 draft. I'm sure what he
meant to say was, according to the draft the use of most of the previously
mentioned stuff is deprecated. (Which does not mean invalid, but only
discouraged.) So, I suppose if one wants to take the draft a bit too
literally (and screw all browsers that don't support CSS), I suppose you
can just leave all that stuff out. =)

Hrmm..translation: It's okay until the HTML 5.0 draft comes along. :)
