Why must it die? Browsers have to support it anyway, so documenting
it and letting it pass conformance checking seems sensible.
I don't like applets, either. In fact I've never seen a Java applet
that wasn't either useless, better implemented in JavaScript, better
implemented in Flash or better in a window of its own rather than in
a replaced element rectangle. Still, pretending that <applet> doesn't
exist won't make applets disappear. :-(
