This is a fun read, especially since I remember all these obsolete tags that ought never have been created in the first place - though I did get a lot of mileage out of frames and tables. "These stumblings have made HTML what it is today. No, they weren't perfect, but it is mistakes that we learn from. These obsolete tags represent experiments in web development - some more successful than others. They're a reminder that the web platform we use today is the result of decades of trial, error, and evolution."
