If the intertubes are going to stop using something, stop using it. Letting people continue to code with tags that are going to be eventually nixed is simply going to encourage people to actually continue using them, rather than breaking their habits. Hell, I am doing it right now with some of my code. Sure, browsers should keep supporting the code, otherwise it will get all kinds of wierd, but if the tags are going away, get them away :).

Eventually (read: a few decades from now), browser creators will no longer code their products to use the tags. In reality, you can still use "i" instead of "em" just fine. Deprecation always confused me.

At any rate, no dice, which makes sense - the code for the "alignleft" class is: .alignleft { float: left; } Pretty much the same thing as what I wrote.
