Presumably, <p title="introduction"> and <p id="introduction"> would do the trick also?

Using the "title" attribute means pointing-device-users would get a tooltip saying "introduction" obscuring the text if they happened to have the cursor hovering over that region. Not good usability, IMHO.

I occasionally come across sites that make extensive use of "title", and 99 times out of 100 it's more of an impediment than a help. Even the supposed accessibility advantages are open to question:

I'd still vote for using a class, or an id if you can be certain it will only appear once a page. If the visual distinction in the required design actually does represent a semantically meaningful distinction between that paragraph and the others, rather than just being window dressing, then a <p><em>... would probably be justifiable; I don't think that going all the way to <strong> is necessary.

Regards,

Nick.
