good luck with that..


i still think that there should be a recommended subset of html elements/attrs on the webless page with some explanation about good 
practices (some parts of the html spec are too vague and useless elements/attrs should be discouraged).


historycal facts:

the revised html 4.01 spec was published in 1998-04-24 (almost 10 years ago)

the abstract of the original html spec draft by Tim Berners-Lee (1993-06):

   HyperText Markup Language (HTML) can be used to represent
      Hypertext news, mail, online documentation, and collaborative
      hypermedia;
      Menus of  options;
      Database query results;
      Simple structured documents with inlined graphics.
      Hypertext views of existing bodies of information
   The World Wide Web (W3) initiative links related information
   throughout the globe.  HTML provides one simple format for
   providing linked information, and  all W3 compatible programs are
   required to be capable of handling HTML.    W3 uses an Internet

this view is much cleaner than the dynamic, scriptable and visual presentation oriented web of today (html5/xhtml2 + css3 + ecmascript)
