Btw, Laura, you said 'menu', but it looks as a Toolbar. Hence a
correction: Amaya is identical to Dreamweaver: it provides <strong>
disguised as [B] and <em> disguised as <i>.

What Amaya does is that it divides the phrase elements in 'Info type'
and 'Character type'. In the first, the 'semantic' elements are found:
<em>, <strong>, <cite> etc. In the second, the character style elements
are found: <b>, <i>, <tt>. (See attached images.)
One could ask: now that HTML5 claims that <b> is semantic, should Amaya
move the <b> over to the Info elements menu? I don't think Amaya's
users would become any wise by such a move! Because, HTML5's
'semantification' of <b> and <i> is not a semantification but more a an
advice about how <b> and <i> could be used wisely. The same kind of
advice could be provided for <u>.
