<applet> was never removed from HTML, but it was deprecated by HTML4.01 - but only because they wanted to use <object> as a single replacement element: https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.4 https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.4
Looks like <applet> was officially obsoleted sometime during the switch from HTML4.01 to the Living Specification version: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/obsolete.html#other-elements,-attributes-and-apis https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/obsolete.html#other-e... - but the spec still permits using <object> or <embed> for Java applets: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/iframe-embed-object.html#the-object-element https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/iframe-embed-object.h...
