This is consistent with HTML5 CR. > It should recommend to use <s> instead. HTML5 CR says: “Use del instead if the element is marking an edit, otherwise use s instead.” http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/obsolete.html#requirements-for-implementations Of course, if <strike> has been used for presentation only, then “use CSS instead” is OK by HTML5 principles. But it’s difficult to imagine what might be a reason for overstriking other than indicating something as deleted or as no longer valid. Yucca
