I read that when you first posted it and was mystified.  I just re-read it, with
a similar reaction.  Your summary:

	... Of all HTML elements, I and B are the only
	truly universal ones.

is astouding.  Terms such as Italic, Bold, Underline, Strike-through, and Font
apply to _visual_ media, such as a printed page or your PC's screen; to braille
and audio devices they are *meaningless*.
