I'm happy with the definition of <small> except for one point: The example about "de-emphasising" <em> and <strong> is edge case and confuses the definition. Who would write "<small><em>I love you</em></small>"? You either feel strongly about it or you don't. In almost all sensible cases, smalls, ems and strongs would not be nested but equivalent. I think it would be fair to say that <small> "de-emphasises certain phrases and clauses within flow content". It stands to reason that, if this was not your intention and neither was "emphasizing" text (ie. via <em>), that one would simply not include one of these inline elements. I don't think this needs to be explained. Oh, one more thing: I think <small> not being block level is indication enough that it is not suitable as a subheading. Cheers - Heydon.
