I didn't knew that ! What system will replace it ?

I say WYSIWYG cause nobody knows what a WYSIWYM editor is (especially 
Google users...) but the concept of this editor is a valid XHTML 1.0 
Strict source and a semantic edition of the content (Semantic with the 
toolbar (XHTML), stylistic with the sidebar (CSS)). But if you're 
interested about that, everything is explain on the website.

For highlighting code even if it is a "personal" or "private" language. 
And the advantage will be that while the browsers will work for the 
support of common languages, some independent developers will be able to 
create a plug in. A Firefox extension, for example, could be quickly 
developped and the code tag with it's new attributes will be quickly 
effective.

I used bad words to tell you what i mean. In CSS, you'll define a word 
emphasis like that : 0.1 em 0.2 em etc..., so, a degree attribute will 
be in the same "logic". It can be wrong, but for browser, maybe too a 
more simple implementation.

OK, thank you for those precisions. Happy New year !
