most relevant, and neither <em> nor <strong> fulfil that purpose.
Of Google cache highlighting has anything to do with future reference?
Or is the Google cache highlighting example a wrong one?
What? I'm not sure I understand, but I think your putting too much
emphasis on the word "future". The google cache highlights the word as
a reference for the user, which is exactly what this element is for. It
doesn't matter whether the user looks at it immediately, in 5 minutes,
tomorrow, or in the distant future; it's there for when the user needs it.
