Adding emphasis (<em>, <strong>, <cite>, <q>, <code> etc.) is good, adding presentation commands (<b>, <i>, <big> etc.) not so... > How would that be "better"? If you're using XHTML as a document display format for text/html groking User Agents, then fine: add as much presentation and behaviours as you like. But if you're using XHTML as a data format, containg Semantic information that a world of SW/XML/RDF processors can understand, then use a future version of XHTML, and never breathe a word about presentational markup and attached behaviours.
