the latest HTML 5
working draft from the WHAT WG is proposing something quite bad in my opinion.

What's wrong with it?

HTML 5 proposes several tags which defeats the purpose of clear separation of content with presentation/style and goes against what lots of web standards advocacy groups have been relentlessly promoting during over a decade. Restoring <font> is really bad IMO. Same thing with <i>, and new tags like <m>; even <sup> and <sub>: all of this should be replaced with CSS. Also, <embed>, etc Some others are questionable to retain from HTML 4: e.g. <base>
Totally wrong, inadequate, incorrect, pure non-sense is the support for pseudo-protocol "javascript:".

Maybe (in fact, I wish!) we should/would start a new, distinct, separate thread on HTML 5.
