I can not find the article right now though. In that case I guess the use case is correct (as he wanted to convey the original text in the markup and not by styling it). As I remember the original text wasn't using the bolding for emphasis and the modern day author simply used u to say that "this passage is underlined". However, this may be a very limited use case and I believe that RDFa would be a better tool for that author. Regards, Peter
