Matej, I agree with you. Amaya handles B elements and STRONG elements. B is deprecated already in HTML 4. The logical thing to do with B elements is to convert them to STRONG elements. So, it would be good if the button which makes something strong could be overloaded, so that it can be used to remove STRONG or B from an element (but would always apply a STRONG). I suppose the alternative is that I should write a transformation that makes all B into STRONG. Seems like a pretty simple sed script to me.

See http://www.hut.fi/u/jkorpela/webpub.html of Jukka Korpela for reasoning and better exaplantion of my point. I hope, that at least W3C supports the very ideas on which HTML is supposed to be based. However, if the idea was intended to just contrary (elimination of bold element as much as possible -- especially in toolbar), I would vote for.
