Where do you see that U and S are deprecated? So far, both are still part of the html5 spec, W3C or WHATWG versions. Just as with B and I, their usage is not really recommended though – in most situations. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/CR/text-level-semantics.html#the-u-element http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/CR/text-level-semantics.html#the-s-element The spec notes one use case for U: marking up Chinese names in formal language (those are –traditionally– supposed to be underlined). To keep this slightly more on topic: sure you can mark this up with a <span class="formal-chinese-names"> and style as needed (underlined). But suppose the text ‘travels’ and get copy-pasted into another site, including the markup, or the text is picked up by a crawler and displayed elsewhere, either a general purpose one (search-engine) or specialised one.
