B and I seem so natural and so often used to get rid of them would be dangerous. Italics / Bold isn't always meant to draw special attention, or to put emphasis on, but often meant to just be different from the other text. BIG and SMALL seem likely candidates for removal, but logically they represent something a little more important, or alittle less important, there doesn't appear to be logical markup that does this otherwise. TT is used again to distinguish text, and is used very often to indicate something on the screen. This one is likely the highest in priortiy for things to be removed. __ | Mortar: Advanced Web Development <http://mortar.bigpic.com/> | Neil St.Laurent <mailto:stlaurent@bigpic.com> | Big Picture Multimedia
