I tried that once. Try looking at an HTML source that's got STRONG and EM
tags scattered all about it. HORROR! Why did they use full words for tags
that were preferred over tags that where single lettered? I basically
stopped using these tags because I was bored of writing <STRONG></STRONG>
and <EM></EM> instead of <B></B> and <I></I> alla the time. And I
couldn't debug my source.
Oh and, in case you want me to use on of these "WYSIWYG" editors, point
me to one that uses STRONG and EM instead of B and I...
