What do we use HTML for? From what I've seen:
* tables -- well, most people agree that HTML tables are ugly. we just
haven't yet come up with a good enough alternative.
* erroneous use of <BR> -- if you need a new paragraph, make one. If you
feel you need a "half paragraph-break", then rethink your writing style.
* LI, UL, OL -- people who haven't read the documentation. I suppose we
can keep <LI> as a synonym for *
* aligning images right or left with complex DIV or TABLE constructs --
as above -- we need better syntax.
any other uses I've missed?
