Patrick, It all depends on the person using it. I have seen alot of people use strong to bold general peices of text. There is a big difference in making text bold and empasising its meaning.
If the use for <stong> is a valid use, then i wont disagree. I must have read the first post wrong, i thought thats what he was trying to do. On 5/26/07, Patrick H. Lauke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If text *needs to be emphasised* you cannot recommend using a semantically neutral element (span) and relying on a class + css. The emphasis needs to be marked up in the actual content, with elements that semantically signify that emphasis. Emphasis changes the meaning of content, so cannot be divorced from content and split out into an optional presentational component like CSS. Now, we could debate whether it should be <em> or <strong> (as the difference between the two is minimal, at least in the current HTML spec), but claiming that they're presentational is wrong.
