What makes h1 look like a header if not for a significantly larger size
than everything else?
Alignment? Font style? Color? Background? Decoration? Letter spacing?

I thought the whole point behind (x)HTML strict was separation of
content and presentation. Keeping "align" attributes does not seem to
fit in.
I think I've found the reason why these properties are kept.
There is a fundamental incompatibility of HTML columns model
and CSS inheritance:

Thanks Bert, Kornel,
I read the DTD by downloading the file, loading into FF and viewing the
source (IE wouldn't load it :-) Very interesting. As usual, one thing leads
to another and I learnt lots of stuff in there.
Bert, your reference to www.zvon.org was invaluable! What a source of

Because people expect data cells to be centered under column headings
and row headings to be left aligned more often than not?
This can be done with CSS.

Kornel - you might like to double-check your statement that "It is not
valid in XHTML/1.1 or any Strict [X]HTML version."

"align" attribute it is *NOT* deprecated for COL, COLGROUP, TBODY, TD,
TFOOT, TH, THEAD and TR.

I'm looking for a list of valid attributes which can be used with tables in
XHTML strict.
Best source would be the actual DTD at the World Wide Web
Consortium. However, as that can be a bit hard to read, I
recommend you have a look at www.zvon.org - you can use their
XHTML reference onlin

for.
Try the source: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/
XHTML is based on HTML4, so this also applies (note the Deprecated
columns!):
