What about <small></small>
<sub></sub> Subscript lower than the text
<sup></sup> Superscript higher than the text, maybe just a number
linked to a date in the page footer
Or in a stylesheet make a class of smaller text.

Hey list,
We have two elements, EM and STRONG, to emphasise text as being more
important than the text around it, but we don't seem to have any
elements to show that text is less important than the surrounding
text.
What is the best way to show something is less important than the
surrounding information (e.g. the date of a post or article,
supplementary information at the bottom of a post or article)?
It seems to me the only tag that represents anything remotely close to
that is the <small> tag, however that is a purely presentational tag
according to the W3C specifications as it only specifies font
information.
While style sheets and, for example the SPAN element, are definitely a
better way of specifying the font information that the SMALL element
would provide, they don't provide any semantic information to indicate
that the text is less important.
What do you guys think about showing that something is less important
relative to the surrounding content?

Blake
