I'd add that it's also good house keeping. Two elements don't serve any purpose, so if we're re-spec'ing the language anyway, why not drop one? Anne's point is also a good one. For many authors, when there is such ambiguity in the language, they may very well not bother at all. Making HTML simpler and easier to understand (where possible) can only increase the usage of this kind of bonus-markup.
