If you were consistent, then you would at the very least insist on using <span style="line-through"> or something like that, as the replacement for <strike>. However, you instead suggest that we can just re-interpretate <del> as an element with both stylistic and editorial semantics and use that element instead. Thus, all that is left in your justification for removing <strike> is an economical one - you think we can do with fewer elements. -- leif halvard silli
