What's missing with STRONG and EM is that it isn't always the desire to make the text appear stronger or more emphasized, but indeed all you want to do is make it appear different than the rest. At the same time you'd have to argue that we need a WEAK and DEEM to indicate text that is to be under emphasized or weaker. Consider a simple tagline attached to a paragraph. <I>For More Info Go Here</I> I can easily argue that it shouldn't be strong, nor should it be emphasized, but that it most certainly should be set apart from the rest of the paragraph. __ | Mortar: Advanced Web Development <http://mortar.bigpic.com/> | Neil St.Laurent <mailto:stlaurent@bigpic.com> | Big Picture Multimedia
