HTML 3.0 too had some great ideas. I'm still missing
- FN (but CSS3 has something about footnote that may fix this)
- LH (caption for list! A must-have)
- NOTE (I use <tt>for remarks)

Some others I don't miss much but seemed good
- ISINDEX (well, I'm not missing it, I just never understood what it 
was meant for)
- PERSON and AU (why were they removed while CITE and ADDRESS are still 
there?)
