Excerpted from "Introduction": "The release of Cascading Style Sheets in the World Wide Web universe the 17 december 1996 has been a major evolution of Web publishing. For the first time in very common software tools, it is possible to separate content and presentation in data. This old dream of SGML gurus, fighting against the rest of the world to make people realize this is important, is now a reality. Each HTML element can carry presentation styles and forget presentation HTML attributes."

"The main effect of this evolution is the deprecation of several HTML elements and attributes. It is then necessary to describe the set of transformations that should be applied to a HTML document containing these deprecated items in order to make it conformant to HTML Clean and take advantage of CSS."
