- Regarding Tim BL's remark earlier today that STRONG has meaning,
- I was wrong to lump it in with B, I, and U, which I'd like to
- see dropped. But let me deprecate STRONG on typographic
- grounds. As very little writing routinely uses extra emphasis,
- we don't have an established font change that indicates such
- extra emphasis. I think you're most likely to see italics
- for emphasis and italic all caps for extra emphasis in today's
- printed books. If that degree of extra emphasis is satisfactory,
- it is within the reach of authors with the STRONG tag.
-
- If it is desired to distinguish between different fonts in the
- original (scanned) document, when the reason those fonts were
- used is unknown, it wouldn't it be less taxing to use a REMAP
- attribute (<EMPHASIS REMAP="wasbolditalic">)?
-
- As for FLYLEAF, let me suggest calling all this front matter
- stuff META. One might want to insist on some minimal order
- in it, such as that the title come first. Tim's right---no
- knowing what we'll be publishing in a few years. HTML+ might
- be used for technical papers, recipes, or cartoons.
