Is there any good reason for removing the distinctive behavior of an element that so many older websites use, even if it is considered a design faux pas? Histor

  I agree that history should not be destroyed and in sites that have old pages with the blink tag it won't be. But I think its fine for the browser makers to remove old cruft. Especially in this case where the behavior can easily be replicated in Javascript.

    or css (shamelessly stolen from http://www.jwz.org/jwz.css http://www.jwz.org/jwz.css): @keyframes blink { 0% { opacity:1; } 75% { opacity:1; } 76% { opacity:0; } 100% { opacity:0; }} @-webkit-keyframes blink { 0% { opacity:1; } 75% { opacity:1; } 76% { opacity:0; } 100% { opacity:0; }} @-moz-keyframes blink { 0% { opacity:1; } 75% { opacity:1; } 76% { opacity:0; } 100% { opacity:0; }} @-ms-keyframes blink { 0% { opacity:1; } 75% { opacity:1; } 76% { opacity:0; } 100% { opacity:0; }} @-o-keyframes blink { 0% { opacity:1; } 75% { opacity:1; } 76% { opacity:0; } 100% { opacity:0; }} blink { text-decoration: inherit; animation: blink 0.75s ease-in infinite alternate; -webkit-animation: blink 0.75s ease-in infinite alternate; -moz-animation: blink 0.75s ease-in infinite alternate; -ms-animation: blink 0.75s ease-in infinite alternate; -o-animation: blink 0.75s ease-in infinite alternate; }
