Ok, to put it simply, XHTML 2.0 says this: > The strong > <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-text.html#edef_text_strong> element > indicates higher importance for its contents than that of the > surrounding content. This implies that you can nest <strong> elements. For the <em> element it says: > The em <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-text.html#edef_text_em> > element indicates emphasis for its contents. I suggest to the HTML WG to rephrase this accordingly to <strong>’s definition, in order to make it more clear that <em> elements can also be nested to indicate higher emphasis, similar to <strong>. More specifically, I suggest the following phrasing: “The em <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-text.html#edef_text_em> element indicates higher emphasis for its contents than that of the surrounding content.” But better alternatives are imaginable. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
