Creeping presentationism (B, FONT, etc.) have made it near impossible to argue that "HTML [should] remain free of tags that apply only to presentation." The beginning and end of any such discussion will be: "If presentation markup is so bad, why does HTML 3.2 do it?" Which reduces us to shouting down individual proposals rather than making an argument based on design, architecture and direction. Paul Prescod
