The question isn't whether you could conceive of a case where <samp> or <kbd>
could legitimately be used, but rather whether you can come up with a case
where it would be *more* useful than just using <code> or <tt> or whatever.  If
not, why should we whitelist them?  They'll just confuse people, they don't add
anything.

If a wiki actually wants to use <q> despite the IE problems, it can request
that and it might be considered.  I haven't seen such a request.  If it were
allowed across the board, individuals would use it without realizing the
problems, figuring that because it works in their browser it must work for
everyone.  Moreover, <q> is much harder to type than regular old quotation
marks, so is anti-wiki.

(I removed acronym and address from the summary because no one seems to support
adding them.)
