LGTM. I hadn't thought about attr_html; good point. Digging a bit more into this, I see was not being totally precise when I described them all as 'deprecated', but since this is the Org manual and not the W3C, I think that's okay and a good one-word choice. Details: The W3C HTML5 recommendation does not use the term "deprecated." It describes a number of presentational attributes, including the cellpadding, cellspacing, rules, and frame attributes, on table elements as "obsolete" and says they "must not be used by authors". The 2014 recommendation made an exception for the border attribute with a value of the empty string or "1", which was actually recommended as a fallback, e.g. for text-based browsers (https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-20141028/obsolete.html). However, the "living standard" describes border too as obsolete without exception (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/obsolete.html#obsolete). Regards, Christian
