The term 'lede' is more commonly spelled as 'lead' by journalists
throughout the world. It seems like a sensible idea, although I'm
wondering why you added the P element in your example.

This is just an idea for what I consider to be a solidly semantic
element. It isn't necessary nor does it add any new functionality.
However, it removes one more need for additional span elements.
The lede element is an inline element useful for signifying the lede
in a document. It is commonly used term in journalism for the opening
sentence or two which introduces the article.

Usage Case:
<h1>Burmese monks 'to be sent away'</h1>
<p><lede>Thousands of monks detained in Burma's main city of Rangoon
will be sent to prisons in the far north of the country, sources have
told the BBC.</lede> About 4,000 monks have been rounded up in the
past week as the military government has tried to stamp out
pro-democracy protests. They are being held at a disused race course
and a technical college. Sources from a government-sponsored militia
said they would soon be moved away from Rangoon...
A common styling (in CSS) would be
lede{font-weight:bold}
however, I would not imagine that to be default
