I agree. > Also, the set of characters specified in the current HTML DTDs is > not really sufficient to display many important characters, [...] HTML4 references ISO10646 which means it has every UNICODE character.

'font-weight' covers the "heavy" versions already. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
