I don't want to start the argument all over again, Patrick, but I had occasion to use SUP recently so I wondered how you'd do it instead? I presume you'd define it in CSS with a smaller font and bottom padding, but it seems a bit like overkill . . .?

Depends on the context (which is really the point: sub/sup, as they currently stand, don't actually provide a proper context, but just define how something should look). So, what occasion was it, exactly?

This is one (very long!) page I did for a colleague, in an effort to convince him to use standards instead of Yahoo web builder. <scream>. Sadly, he added some counter stuff on the end, which makes it fail validation at around line 4300. As it is a 'scientific' publication, I followed the normal scientific conventions, so the references are all 'SUPped'. I considered (rightly or wrongly!) that since <sup> does validate, it was OK in these circumstances . . .
