Emacs-w3 implements both BIG and SMALL. It's a production browser.

I do agree with the sentiment - you don't depreciate things that were
never part of a standard. BIG and SMALL should simply be removed from
the draft, and that's that. Emacs-w3 will probably keep them for a
while, just as it's kept various HTML+ features.
