And <B> and <I> are deprecated for future compatibility because they belong in "Font Style Elements", which are all deprecated, as CSS should be used for these. You may want to recheck your facts. In Changes from XHTML 1.0 Strict it states: "Most significant is the removal of features that were deprecated." Since b and i are still there, it must mean that they weren't deprecated. Also, sub and sup are current;y valid XHTML2 with no listed plans to either deprecate or remove (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-inline-text.html#sec_9.12.). I do happen to agree that b and i shouldn't be used, but they are still 100% valid XHTML1.1.
