Deprecated tag

A markup tag rendered obsolete by technological advances or programming changes. Deprecated tags, such as <LAYER> and <MENU>, are no longer developed or supported; but older documents may still retain or utilise them. In most cases, a tag becomes deprecated only when a new construction can do the same thing more simply, efficiently, or powerfully. The subtraction of obsolete codes is formally performed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Term derived from "beg relief"; but is widely confused with 'depreciated', which is derived from "undervalued". See slash, tag, HTML tag, markup.
