    The answer—depends on how you look at it. When you go by spec: * <samp>: HTML 2.0 (1995), w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_5.html#SEC5.7.1.5 * <dfn>: HTML 3.2 (1997) * <thead>: HTML 4 (1998) * <wbr>: HTML 5 (2000s) But: <wbr> was proprietary since 1994 (!), home.mcom.com/home/services_docs/html-extensions.html What’s your view?
