Differences between HTML, XHTML, and XHTML-MP
The align and bgcolor attributes are deprecated in HTML 4.01. XHTML and XHTML-MP (strict) do not support these attributes.
XHTML-MP also does not support the presentation attributes associated with table (that is, border, cellpadding, cellspacing, frame, rules, and width). You must use CSS styles to control the appearance of tables.
