-------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe a good start would be to just delete the deprecated styles from the style
sheets - which will break the layout, and hopefully compel everyone to use the
correct styles. As long as the deprecated styles can be found, someone will use
them in new code.
The FTL code you are referring to might be files that were never touched in the
previous cleanup. So yes, fixing those files would be a worthwhile effort.

> Widget & Application HTML clean-up

> Key: OFBIZ-5040
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5040
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ALL APPLICATIONS
> Reporter: Paul Piper
> Labels: html, webapp, widget, widgetrendering
>
> I am sure that this is a common thing to know: the current backoffice
> application relies heavily on widgets. This is good, but the current
> standard-html-structure is not flexible enough and often lacks proper w3c
> implementation.
> To make matters worse, you can often find applications avoiding widgets at
> all and rather overriding the standards with custom ftl implementations. It
> is these customizations that break the html on numerous screens and make it
> difficult, if not tedious to create new themes for the backoffice.
> This task is hence to:
> * Find a consensus on a new widget standard
> * Go over each of the application ftls and convert these to the new standard
> * Recreate the themes and simplify/clean-up special rules
> Since redoing the theme is a rather large task, we should consider to add an
> additional css for now which stylises the replacement html instead of working
> with the old.
