It is more old than non standard. At one point this was near universal common practice. It is 90s era visual formatting for HTML before anybody used CSS. Dang has been quite clear that he is unpracticed with CSS.
It wasn't CSS that killed this manner of formatting visual content, circa 2005-2010. It was lawyers as it isn't friendly to accessibility.
- Blikkentrekker 6y ago> It was lawyers as it isn't friendly to accessibility. That is the point, and that is why it was changed. The markup should reflect the structure and meaning of the document, so that accessibility tools and crawlers might better understand it. Ideally, with all CSS and Javascript turned off, it should look as a plain, white, unintereseting, but otherwise usable website.
