No argument from me on that score, but what is "right"? If the intent
is to put up a single page with a couple of images, is placing the
text and the images with CSS instead of 4.01 more "right"?

If the intent is to put up a page that will be viewed by a dozen
people for a month and then taken down, does it make it less "right"
for the source to contain a tag that works now but might not work in a
year or so?
