I found Float and Clear, but they are not in CSS Level 2 - they are
specific 
to IE.  If w3c drops these and a lot of the other attribs,  there's no 
replacement that works in all browsers as far as I can see. ouch.  they've

already deprecated the applet tag and a whole bunch of attribs like width 
and height on TD/TH on HTML 4.01.  They hinted they are trying to force a 
move to CSS, zapping tags & attributes that can be done with CSS.
