Whelan > whelan@iname.com > http://www.slack.net/~whelan/ I agree. <I> has more meaning than SPAN. Span has no meaning, <I> conveys typographical information. There is reason to exclude typographical information. It shouldn't come instead of structure/meaning but can come in addition. For example: <H1><FONT face="arial">My main heading</FONT></H1> is fine (although I wouldn't bother...). <FONT face="Arial" size=6>My main heading</FONT> is bad markup.
