Sorry, I'm catching up here. :>A properly designed search or index tool should skip over <FONT> tags :>just as it now skips over <B> or <EM> tags. Whoa. A properly designed search of index tool should not skip over <EM> or <STRONG> but should skip over <B> or <I>, no? I thought that was the whole point of <EM> and <STRONG>, to be content markup regardless of outward presentation. If the current wisdom about a properly designed search or index tool is to ignore <EM> and <STRONG> then someone has missed the boat, me or whoever defines properly designed search and index tools.
