It never "stopped" supporting them. They were never in the plan, and have
been deprecated since Netscape 4 beta something-or-other. They are not
part of any standard.

Not if the sites also have a W3C-compliant version (which could probably
be made to work in IE 5 as well.)

<BLINK> is not supported. CSS1 text-decoration : blink is.
