Fun times ahead!! Read all about HTML 5 differences from HTML 4

The following elements are not in HTML 5 because their effect is purely presentational and therefore better handled by CSS:
* basefont
* big
* center
* font, although it is allowed when inserted by a WYSIWYG editor due to limitations in the state of the art in user interface for these editors.
* s
* strike
* tt
* u

The following elements are not in HTML 5 because their usage affected usability and accessibility for the end user in a negative way:
* frame
* frameset
* noframes

The following elements are not included because they have not been used often, created confusion or can be handled by other elements:
* acronym is not included because it has created lots of confusion. Authors are to use abbr for abbreviations.
* applet has been obsoleted in favor of object.
* isindex usage can be replaced by usage of form controls.
* dir has been obsoleted in favor of ul.
