        The Lynx HTML documentation since its v2.5 has:

<!DOCTYPE html public "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.0//EN">

The PLAIN attribute for UL, and the TAB element, are in that (HTML 3.0)
DTD (accessible via the online 'h'elp since Lynx v2.5).  Both can be and
are used in ways that degrade gracefully for browsers which do not support
them.  However, the TAB element is not a container (has no end tag).

        I'm not sure in what sense you are using "non-proprietary".
The HTML 3.0 draft and the HTML i18n RFC are the last HTML specs based
on fully public, archived discussions and consensus in chartered IETF
working groups (in those cases, the HTML-WG).
