That's not a bad idea, especially since the biggest use-case for <m>  
seems to be for programatically-inserted highlighting of search  
terms, something that involves absolutely no manual typing and gets  
little benefit from a short element name.

    <strong class="highlight">Big brother</strong> is watching.
or
    <strong class="search-result">Big brother</strong> is watching.

And since the current specification has predefined class names, it  
could simply be added as one.
