<small>, like <b>, <i>, and now <s>, was traditionally presentational.
However, there are valid semantic reasons to make text small, just as there are
valid semantic reasons to bold or italicize text. In some cases we capture
those semantics specifically, such as with <em> and <strong>, but it's not
always worthwhile to mint elements for such specific, low-use semantics.
<small> captures the semantic of "fine print" and similar things, where the
smallness of the text relative to the surrounding text is actually
communicating useful information in visual media, and the semantic can be
expressed in other media as well.
