Replace dead and obsolete HTML in the core

Hi Internals,

I have recently made a patch[1] for PHP7 that replaces dead and obsolete
HTML code (like <img border="0">, <a name="..."></a> vs. <...
id="..."></...> or XHTML's NET notation vs. HTML's ), mostly
being output by PHP itself (error messages, phpinfo() etc.), with
alternatives that are being used rather nowadays.

I would appreciate any feedback, as well as thoughts what else could be
included in the patch.

Thanks,
Kubo2

I see no value in the changes from   to  . It saves very
few characters and means you can't use XML parsers anymore. HTML 5
permits the XHTML syntax, so it's not like   is more conforming
to HTML5 than   is.
