The tt element and other simple cases can be fixed in the wikicode with AWB and
other scripting tools and bots, after being fixed in engine to not actually
reach the user agent as a tt element, but a span with monospaced font. On
installations other than Wikipedia, they'll need to write their own (or adapt
WP's) tools, or fix it manually.
I'm not sure that allowing the tt element in the wikicode is a huge deal. We
also allow br elements without a closing / in them, we allow the p element
without a closing /p tag, etc., and it all gets fixed on the fly before it hits
the browser. I think that tt should be removed from the editor-facing
documentation, so that new instances of it are not added to the wikicode,
willynilly, forever. The help pages on editing should direct users to a
{{monospace}} template or something (which would use the span and font-family).
For HTML5-verboten attributes... Yeah, that'll be big fun. I don't have any
particular ideas with regard to table stuff especially.
