The term 'lede' is more commonly spelled as 'lead' by journalists
throughout the world. It seems like a sensible idea, although I'm
wondering why you added the P element in your example.<br>

The lede element is an inline element useful for signifying the lede in
a document. It is commonly used term in journalism for the opening
sentence or two which introduces the article.

Usage Case:<br>
<br>
<h1>Burmese monks 'to be sent away'</h1>
<br>
<p><lede>Thousands of monks detained in Burma's main city
of Rangoon will be sent to prisons in the far north of the country,
sources have told the BBC.</lede> About 4,000 monks have been
rounded up in the past week as the military government has tried to
stamp out pro-democracy protests. They are being held at a disused race
course and a technical college. Sources from a government-sponsored
militia said they would soon be moved away from Rangoon...

<br>
A common styling (in CSS) would be<br>
lede{font-weight:bold}<br>
however, I would not imagine that to be default<br>
