Less abandoned and more just a complete lack of HTML3 implementation. HTML3 was in some ways an early "spec from an ivory tower", and implementers essentially wrote HTML 3.2 in its place. That said, many of the ideas in HTML3 later came to fruition.
- dredmorbius 6y agoFair enough. The presence of the element was unknown to me until I'd written my comment, and I'm not fully straight on all the twists and kinks in the evolution of HTML, other than vaguely recalling that XHTML was Right Out.
