Re: Emphasizing STRIKE

If I cannot convince you that <strike>
is purely presentational (and therefore
semantic-free), just as are <b>, <u>, <i>
and so on), whilst <strike> (cf. <strong>,
<heading>, <em>) are purely semantic and
carry no presentational overtones, then
I am afraid we will have to differ.
