User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a6) Gecko/20070629 GranParadiso/3.0a6

When there is a deprecated attribute set in a XHTML page it is ignored.

For example the alink attribute:

<body alink="lime">

If there is a link in that page when it is clicked down its color is changed to red (which is the default action).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a XHTML page that contains a deprecated attribute (e.g alink)
2. Try the functionality of this attribute (e.g if it is 'alink', click down a link in the page)
Actual Results:  
The default action is taken (not the action defined by the attribute).

Expected Results:  
The action of the defined attribute should be taken.

A short test revealed that this is true for link, alink and vlink, but not for bgcolor, text or img@align. Different color values also don't give a different result.

Opera and Safari work as expected.
