Description
The newly released beta (2.5) is advertised in such a way as to suggest that support for varied DTDs (HTML 4 Transitional, HTML 4 Strict, XHTML, etc) is intended. To get closer to that goal it would be desirable to not use deprecated attributes when in "strict" mode. Current support for Strict DTDs (fck_xhtml10strict.js) appears to only apply to elements.
It is possible to add invalid attributes to the HTML which is undesirable in some use cases. I cannot find anyway to modify this behavior without changing the source code. I would suggest extending the FCK.DTD to support attributes as well as elements or provide some option for using alternatives for the deprecated attributes.
A table of deprecated attributes and alternatives: http://aamcf.co.uk/html/attr
Example (steps to reproduce):
* Create a table
* Edit any cell
* Set the background or border color
