I came across this page and its sub-pages:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_Web_Standards_in_your_Web_Pages
They seems to be really out of date, and not very relevant anymore. The
pages contain information which is no longer correct with the
introduction of HTML5. The pages also seem to be targeted at developers,
who which to make their IE6-only sites cross browser, and I doubt many
such developers exist anymore.
Is it possible to delete these pages and redirect users to more up to
date version on MDN?
For example I think it would be better to show
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_Web_Developer_FAQ instead of
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_Web_Standards_in_your_Web_Pages/Making_your_page_using_web_standards_-_how_to
. Some of the details of that page is not covered directly by my
suggested replacement, but I think it covers more real problems
experienced by developers, and is overall a better fit.
I also think it would be better to show
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/XMLHttpRequest/Using_XMLHttpRequest
instead of
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_Web_Standards_in_your_Web_Pages/Using_XMLHttpRequest
. To make that replacement cover the original page 100%, one could add a
section on how to make XHR work in IE6.

use standard technologies instead of proprietary ones. It can be made
better instead of deleting it.

I think, instead, we need to update that page to encourage people to

Ok. Then there is this page, which the system somehow made when I tried

to rename a page:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Quirks_Mode_and_Standards_Mode1
Can we please delete that?
