--- Comment #1 from Aryeh Gregor <simetrical+wikib...@gmail.com> 2010-07-25 17:36:28 UTC --- I have no objection in principle to migrating away from using these somehow, so I agree that this bug should not be closed. However, there has to be some migration plan that does not force Wikipedia users to do unnecessarily large amounts of work, and someone has to code it up. These are obstacles that I suspect are prohibitive for the foreseeable future. It's conceivable that we could do some auto-translation of <tt> to <span style="font-family:monospace"> and so forth, but that still leaves the invalid markup in the page source, so it's less than ideal. Note that it's not just elements here, but attributes too. For example, cellspacing="" and cellpadding="" are obsolete and invalid in HTML5 as well. The full list is here: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/obsolete.html#non-conforming-features We don't allow most of those anyway, but there are an awful lot we do currently permit. Some of them (particularly table attributes) cannot be easily, reliably, and automatically converted to use CSS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
