IIRC Netscape 4.7 did interpret it - the most popular browser at the time.

I think the problem was only introduced when the site switched to HTML 4.01 
Strict - the attribute is marked deprecated for Transitional.

IMHO, just remove it! BTW, I use the following CSS for  
on one of my sites:

  ul.compact li { padding-bottom: 0ex; }

(For NS 4.7, the compact attribute removed the vertical spacing between 
bullets, it did not affect the letter spacing.)

"COMPACT" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute

[Florian Ernst]

Hello there,

on the Debian BTS - mail server reference card[0] the following markup
is used[1]:

| Synopsis of bug submission and followup addresses
| 
| 
|   nnn[ -submit | ]
|   nnn-maintonly
|   nnn-quiet
|   nnn-forwarded
|   nnn-request
|   nnn-submitter
|   nnn-done
|   nnn-close
|   nnn-subscribe
| 

AFAIK this attribute "compact" wasn't ever widely supported by the
browsers, and furthermore it's not Valid HTML 4.01 Strict and thus the
page doesn't validate[2].

It's been there ever since this page exists, but as long as nobody
vetoes I'll simpy remove it in the next days. Alternatively it could
be replaced by e.g. 'style="letter-spacing:whatever"', but I see no
reason why this synopsis needs to be listed compactly ...

Cheers,
Flo
