Paragraphs, headings, blockquotes and tables are not stylistic. They all have meaning in a presentation without, say any visual display at all (read aloud, for instance). You might well do a database search on content "in the same paragraph" or "in a heading" or "not in blockquotes". These factors indicate that those things are structural: their use transcends visual media. Hyphenation does not. > Lets get off the damned issue, HTML is stylistic, ASCII is content...
