This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This bug report has this thread in www-validator@ as starting point: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2014Mar/0039.html STATUS: 1) Document containing <strike>: data:text/html,<!DOCTYPE html><title>S<%2Ftitle><strike>stricken<%2Fstrike> 2) NU validator’s response: ”The strike element is obsolete. 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>.
