All fair points. My reservation #3 from comment #6 remains, though. Allowing
more than one bold weight is a nice feature for typography enthusiasts, just
like font-variant-alternates: historical-forms and such. But I'm pretty sure
that if you took a survey of random web authors, they wouldn't expect
<b><b>foo</b></b> to be bolder than <b>foo</b>, because they wouldn't have
heard of the concept of multiple weights of bold. <b>, <i>, and <u> should
mean the same thing as the "B", "I", and "U" buttons in word processors,
because that's the only exposure most people have to text styling.
I wonder if Microsoft has an opinion here? I'm CCing Adrian Bateman; perhaps
he can forward it to someone appropriate.
