Given that DW is declaring pages as using XHTML transitional, and this is a new workover, perhaps encouraging people to use XHTML tags would be good?

For example, it shouldn't be {BR}, it should be {BR /}, same for IMG (and encouraging defined height and width would be good given image placeholders &c) and HR.

You've also mentioned that SPAN can be used for Javascript—given that this is stripped out from DW posts, that's misleading. I'd suggest an example using a style, so people can see what/how it's used as a lot of people don't know the basics of putting CSS into posts.

But overall, fair, several codes in there I'd never heard of, not sure if that's my lack of knowledge or because they're deprecated.
