I can imagine a few scenarios where you might want to show some activity is completed/closed/invalid/inactive -- not "deleted" -- thus del would be inappropriate, span conveys nothing (could be visually styled but otherwise inaccessible) but... strike would do nicely. For example, it could be used in my EPG to show upcoming shows which match my preferences but will not be recorded (due to conflicts, reruns, etc.) +1 for restoring the strike (or s) element ... both should be supported by browsers (spec already documents this), but one name should be chosen as canonical and considered "conforming" imo.
