(rant) If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It!

OK, so code languages improve with time, and HTML is no exception. But why replace one, perfectly good thing with another command that does exactly the same thing????????

I was happy using "strike", I'm equally happy using "del". But one only works if the browser supports HTML5, and the other only works if it is an older browser. Since I don't know what browser my surfer uses I have to use both, which is messy.

Code:

US Dollars<br><strike><del>$9.95</del></strike> $4.95

Since both do the same thing, changing them just fucks up websites and makes the code ugly. Not to mention the extra work they give us webmasters.

Bastards.
