May I please have a tracking of this comment.
About draft generally, but especially <http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-
xhtml2-20060726/mod-text.html#edef_text_em> and <http://www.w3.org/TR/
2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/mod-text.html#edef_text_strong>

<em> and <strong> really are just two variations on the same idea,
emphasis. Two tags could be merged as one. Plus, extending the idea
would make possible de-emphasis—like parenthesis, whispering...
My suggestion is " <emph property="numerical value" ".
- <emph> is chosen because it is less ambiguous compared to <em>. On
the other hand, <em> withouth property value set could be a level 1
<em>, like in previous X/HTML version. That would provide a bit of
backward compatibility, with minimal ambiguity.
- values could be like this. Please notice I don't really understand
what role is really meant for
-- <em role="0"> default
-- <em role="+1"> equivalent to em
-- <em role="+2"> equivalent to strong
-- <em role="-1"> less important, may be rendered as font-
size:smaller or voice-stress:reduced <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-
speech/#voice-stress>
-- and so on
A similar suggestion had been made in June by Jonathan Worent <http://
lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/2006Sep/0036.html>
