Hi,
I have some additions to your tag-properties.

You talked about acronyms, but you forgot to mention acronyms for the properties for the tags.

* You use the "id" property for the tag "<th>", but you use the "name" property for the tag "<a>".

I know this will work, atleast in IE, but if you do this in all your tags, you will soon have problems if you try using, let's say an <iframe>.

With the property "name", it will work fine in IE, but if you try Opera and maybe other browsers, the "blah" wont target the iframe.

Why?

IE works with both properties (I think), Opera works only with the property "id". What is the sollution? Use both!

eg.
<iframe name="content_frame" id="content_frame"...></iframe>

ps. I dont know about compatability for all other tags, but I think this only applies to things you need to target with an hyperlink.
