<p>Despite the fact that <span class="caps">HTML</span> has changed quite a lot over the past twenty-four years, extensions to the specification have always been implemented in a backwards-compatible manner. Reading through the 1992 W3C document <a href="http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/Tags.html"><span class="caps">HTML</span> Tags</a>, you’ll see just how it has evolved. We still have <code>h1</code> – <code>h6</code> elements, but I’d not heard of the <code>&lt;plaintext&gt;</code> element before. Despite being deprecated since HTML2, it still works in several browsers.
