I'd say too: The worst abominations have disappeared (for new sites,
that is). the <font> element, for example, or frames through deprecating
them.

Fact: Deprecating stuff takes it out of (X)HTML-Books, Howtos like
Selfhtml warn against it, thus ensuring lesser use by novices. Does
anyone remember <marquee> ?
