blink and marquee elements

I am currently evaluating a website for Section 508 compliance and I
came across the use of the marquee element.

In the Techniques for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0...

http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-TECHS/

...it is mentioned that "The BLINK and MARQUEE elements are not
defined in any W3C HTML specification and should not be used."

Does Section 508 cover the marquee and blink elements in any way?
