It's not a practice It's an HTML standard. And please don't use it
cause people are saying bad things about it. They might also say: 
"don't read documentations and specifications - just take my word
for it."

"A child of your child is not your child" they say.

Somebody mentioned "pitfalls" I guess this is the time and

whom they exactly belong...

The answer to that, is pretty apparent.
