I think he's on with some kind of fallacy where if you agree that if you agree that 1) strong and em generally supercede b and i 2) strong and em are used incorrectly sometimes (we're all ok with the argument to this point, methinks, but it's so obvious it's pretty useless, everything is used incorrectly sometimes) then you must agree that 3) wherever strong and em are used incorrectly, b and i are to be used. It's proposition 3) i have issues with. But it could be me having a bad hair day ;) OTOH <span > class="bold">foo</span> is a lot of code compared to <b>bar</b>. That's not fair, you are comparing bar to foo and everybody prefers a bar over almost anything :D -- Manuel trabaja para Simplel�gica, construcci�n web (+34) 985 22 12 65 http://simplelogica.net ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
