Actually there is a good reason it passes. It is commonly stated that the <i> tag has been deprecated. In fact it has not, and is actually a better choice at times than its usual replacement, the <em> tag. The <em> tag, means "emphasis", and is usually represented visually as italics. But when you quote someone in a foreign language, or when you cite the title of a journal article, you would want to use italics *without* meaning "emphasize these words." So there you would use <i> instead. It has no semantic meaning, instead it just creates italics because that is how such text would be styled in the print world. You could of course style that text via CSS instead, with a class on a <span> tag. But really a <span> tag has no more (or less) semantic meaning than an <i> tag. The w3c recommends using CSS for this purpose, but has *not* deprecated the <i> tag. Hope this might help. -- E.
