Obscure tags
Well.
I went through the list and the only ones I don't use are:
- blink - for reasons
- data url - would be useful for CMS and the like if it was cross-browser supported
- abbr - again lack of cross-browser support
- bdo - why you would want to reverse you text I dont know - unless you feared persecution from the Roman Catholic Church of course
- del & ins - if you are maintaining documents and need to show the history of any edits this might be useful, but why not use a wiki or version management tool? silly.
- ruby - microsoft losing the plot again -
WTF does this tag do?? - marquee - hmm. Can't believe this is still supported....
- isindex - jaysus. I mean... jaysis! WTF? A tag that goes in the head of the page rather than the body?
- big - you'll be asking me to use font tags next!
A nice little roundup. They almost made me feel nostalgic for the good old days of tables and spacer gifs. NOT!
