It is my worst nightmare viewing at this kind of source code. b) I do not agree to 'b and bold will both have the same value'. Implement a class for bold text in Netscape 4.x or in Konqueror and look at the result: Bold marked text will not be displayed bold. This is a fault in the CSS integration of these browsers. (Nevertheless I only use CSS to realize the presentation layer of my web sites because of the minor impact caused by failing styles I use, e.g. in this case). > On the other hand, consider an HTML file with 500 table rows where bold > and italic characters are > being used.

That is another important aspect of huge element names: Every character causes traffic... But I am not sure if larger element names would affect parsing time.
