Deprecated Elements was Re: Comments on HTMl 4 draft (9/Nov/1997

My vote is for keeping B, I and even U simply for "legacy" purposes. 
Older (non-HTML) documents can be more easily ported without having to 
re-read them and decide whether to use STRONG or EM vs. special SPAN 
classes.

However the specs should strongly discourage their use when STRONG or EM 
is more appropriate.

I think a set of pages on good HTML style for authors should be included 
with the specifications.
