Hi,

Actually, when I think about it, the ability to express such semantics 
*could* be moved to the class="" attribute, e.g. class=important and 
class=emphasis, with perhaps both being appliciable to all of <strong>, <b>, 
<em> and <i>, and perhaps some others too. Perhaps that will be better 
understood by authors.

Or perhaps we don't need a way to express these semantics.

I don't know. I don't like giving up on things, though. :-( If it leads to 
this then adding <em> and <strong> to HTML was a mistake in the first place.

Regards,
Simon Pieters
