This is why I had suggested a new level="" attribute. The em element and the strong element now have different semantics (before strong was just stronger emphasis) and so both could use the additional attribute. As for default representation: Utilizing I18N (I don't know much about I18N so this may not be appropriate usage), the default representation would be different in different parts of the world. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
