--- Comment #15 from Danny B. <[email protected]> 2012-09-21 13:32:15 UTC ---
I hardly doubt align and valign are part of wikitext. Then you would have to
say that id, class, style, title and other common HTML attributes are part of
wikitext as well. No, they are not. In fact you can pass various attributes to
many elements (either in wikitext or html), even inexisting, and they are
simply passed out and Tidy deals with them.

The only attribute handled is style, which does sanitization of external
resources.

I totally agree with comment #13 - handling of code is business of the browser,
not of the MediaWiki. (In fact it's primarily business of writers of that code
anyway...)

Attempting to "translate" attributes to different output will also cause
messing of the design, because you never can say how browsers were handling it
(and different browsers handle stuff differently). I've seen a lot of various
ridiculous constructions which caused "proper" displaying and this
"translation" attempt would break it immediately. Those constructions had to be
replaced manualy by human, who knows (and can see from context) the
dependencies.

Summary: Do not have MediaWiki to deal with it, have browsers to deal with it
for the time being. And after some period (a year after announcement seems
reasonable) just drop the support of obsolete invalid constructions.
