Comment (by azaozz):

 Did some more research about old/obsolete HTML3 attributes. They only work
 if the element has no css styling. On top of that some obsolete attributes
 are ignored as soon as any css styling  is applied, even when there is no
 direct css style that replaces them.

 In that terms we are not talking about "not loosing data" but rather about
 preserving obsolete code that introduces inconsistencies.

 Since tables were used mostly for layout, the behaviour of obsolete
 attributed is more consistent there. Perhaps they should be treated as
 special case. We can set TinyMCE to allow all HTML attributes on them.
