Your question is strictly about HTML, by the way. You may get better
feedback from a mailing list / usenet group specific to that topic.
Or, you could go to the official source ... the HTML specification,
which describes all of the legal elements and attributes[1]. I find
the "Index of Elements" and "Index of Attributes" links at the bottom
of the Table of Contents to be incredibly useful reference sources,
and have them both bookmarked.
