whoa, hold on there cowboy.  remember something called <layer> and
<ilayer>??

maybe you wouldn't call that a big one cause it wasn't a core piece of html.

remember something called <embed>?

some would say that's a pretty big thing to remove.

so, don't be so quick to assume browser makers won't remove support for some
things.

just my 2¢,
