Blink is in the CSS specification as a valid option for text-decoration. It is not, however, required that a browser support 'blink' in order to be considered CSS compliant.

By "not required" do you mean "is optional" or "is not in the spec at all"? <strong>Alan</strong>: What makes it better is that it's the Doctor Who site! Albeit the Canadian one... now if they could only update it and post the date/time of the first episode of the (hopefully) upcoming season. WD: Didn’t know that.

Its use may also prevent compliance with WAI accessibility guidelines. Nonetheless I have to agree that this is one of the very few times I have seen blink used appropriately.
