Taking the BODY element as an example, all of its style attributes
('alink', 'vlink', 'background', 'text', etc.) are deprecated in HTML 4.01,
a fact noted in the DOM Level 2 HTML specification.
The DOM specification does not explicitly itself deprecate the use of
attributes however for the element in the interface definition section I
read.
Is there text in the DOM specification that states specifically that the
DOM specification yields to or otherwise is fully dependent on the HTML
specification, and that deprecated use of elements and/or attributes in the
HTML specification is ipso facto also deprecated in the DOM specification?
[For those doubting the relevance of these questions to this group: Note
that while this question could be put to groups that discuss the HTML
specification, script writers must be aware of both the HTML and DOM
specification, and thus the questions here are relevant to this group.]
