Use CSS instead.” 3) What the HTML spec says about <strike>: ]] strike Use del instead if the element is marking an edit, otherwise use s instead. [[ http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/obsolete.html#strike ISSUE: Validator does not implement the advice given in the spec. Why advice about using CSS when the spec propose to replace the element with <s> or <del>? EXPECTED OUTCOME: Validator should advice authors to change <strike> to <s> or <del>.
