Hi Marc,

Yes, I totally agree with you. Attributes like align will be with us for 
quite some time. I find myself using deprecated tags all the time as well. 
Somehow, <center> feels way more natural than: <p style="text-align : 
center" /> ;-)


On the other hand, it's never too early to get into good coding habits. 
What is "according the standard" is likely to stick around even longer.
