so how do you center that vertically?

I consider it only slightly less offensive than <blink> as being useless. I also find it incorrect from attempting to have the markup dictating the layout. Sure, this was before CSS was robust, but it is one of the reasons that I just had no problem with it going the way of the dodo.

The <blink> element has never been part of any HTML standard.
your point? whether it was or wasn't has no bearing on its uselessness
I'm following on to another comment where someone uses a 20 year obsolete tag as an example of something.
and how old do you think the <center> tag is?
More than 20 years old but it doesn't matter. Use CSS and not an obsolete element.

Just checked. It was standardized in HTML 3.2. Deprecated in HTML 4 Made obsolete in HTML5
