No, it means "struck through". Neither more nor less. Just because "in your world" (as Bob Ross would have said), all text that is struck through can be treated as if it were deleted does not mean that in other's worlds this same view obtains. Struck-through text is a presentational artifact that /may/ carry semantic significance within a closed group; it is /not/ safe to assume that the views of that group are universally shared, particularly when considering the requirement that HTML be equally applicable to all the world's (written) languages.
