It's deprecated, not removed. Plenty of documents exist that use <s> and
were fully conformant with the standard of the day. Are we going to throw
out backward compatability and thus loose the ability to accurately
portray these documents?
I think that would be a big mistake, and one made based on a
misunderstanding of the intent of deprecating features. The concept is
there to steer page authors, not browser developers.
I haven't seen any actual "argument", though maybe that's happening at a
level that's not visible to me...
