All these elements are still around [1-4] in the canonical HTML spec
[5]. Their meanings have changed slightly, making them less
presentational than in the past. That they still bear presentational
names, however, tends to cause confusion.

I advise to use these elements only when absolutely certain that
they’re used in the spirit of the spec, but to otherwise, as always,
keep far, far away from any presentational markup.
