Deprecated and Dead Tags
Here for completeness, since you may have heard of them, are the troupe of tags that have been deprecated or been rendered defunct by more modern specifications. Don't use any of these tags, there are better ways.

Putting one of these in the of your documents would change the base colour and size that all further font tags are based on. It's been superseded by stylesheets, with their greater text formatting abilities, so don't use it.
[html4] — deprecated

Makes the text blink on and off, but only to the delight of Netscape users. Possibly the most maligned tag to ever hit the web.
[Netscape] — extension tag, not in any official specification.
