It's relatively obvious that Carl misspelled the word 'deprecate' and
not 'defecate'.
In software engineering, the word 'deprecate' is used to discourage the
use of a feature that is currently available but will not be available
in future versions. If you look through any HTML reference, you will
see that all the style tags are deprecated in HTML 4 in deference for
use of CSS style sheets. The style tags are still available in HTML 4
(Transitional) but not available in HTML 4 (Strict), which allows all
those software packages you guys use to generate your HTML code to make
the changes over time.
