Author Note on Sentence
Last sentence before the heading "Examining the Advantages of
External Style Sheets
Sentence
"They are not part of the XHTML specification and, therefore, must be
replaced with suitable replacements if XHTML is the medium of delivery"
Author's note:
This sentence is misleading. In the context of the paragraph the reader
could interpret it as referring to obsolete HTML elements in general,
but the body of the section refers to the HTML tags <b> and <i>, which
*are* allowed in the XHTML specification. These are not deprecated, they
are allowed in the XHTML specification, but the W3C officially
discourages their use since they exist purely for presentation and do
not add semantics to the markup.
The advice given here should still be followed, however, since their use
is officially discouraged [1] they are more likely to be removed from a
future XHTML specification.
[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/graphics.html#h-15.2.1
** "The following HTML elements specify font information. Although they
are not all deprecated, their use is discouraged in favor of style sheets."
** These are defined in HTML 4.01. XHTML (using a strict DTD) is a
reformulation of HTML, which among other things, excludes those elements
labeled deprecated in HTML.
