that said, you can get four levels of tag cloud without nesting of
the same element (by using STRONG as well)....
Would four levels be enough?
According to John's usage study [1], five levels would be enough for
del.icio.us, Web Connections, and possibly ZoomClouds. You could eke
out a fifth level by making nesting order significant:
<ol class="hTagcloud">
<li>Level One</li>
<li><em>Level Two</em></li>
<li><strong>Level Three</strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Level Four</em></strong></li>
<li><em><strong>Level Five</strong></em></li>
</ol>
Example CSS:
.hTagcloud em { font-size: 1.2em; }
.hTagcloud strong { font-size: 1.4em; }
.hTagcloud em strong { font-size: 1.6em; }
/* Level Four gets 1.2em * 1.4em ~ 1.68em
Level Five gets 1.6em * 1.2em ~ 1.92em */
However, I'm not whether I like exploiting nesting order. It feels a
bit hackish, and isn't as semantically unambiguous as Ben's initial
example.
