<del> is a semantic markup tag. Though some UAs may choose to rendering 
it using strike-through, that neither means that it is an appropriate 
replacement for strike-through, or that it should/will always be 
rendered as such.

del	{ text-decoration:strike-through }
is just as valid as
del	{ color:red; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic }
