Quoting Anne van Kesteren <annevk@opera.com>: > HTML5 gives you one better. It has in fact removed (obsoleted, if you > wish) presentational markup. I notice that <b> and <i> are still present, even though their use is discouraged. <small> has been redefined to mean "small print", though based on the examples and the note that small doesn't actually de-emphasise anything it makes me wonder if it's not still just an element whose primary concern is to make things appear smaller...presentational again. Finally, <sub> and <sup> are still in, but only to mark up "typographical conventions"...which would also be presentational, in my book. P -- Patrick H.
