Is this the "new html style"? When I was young, I was taught that
logical attributes should be used rather than physical ones. ;-)

Hmm... our speach synthesizer 'emphasizes' it, by talking more pronounced.

And offers it as a 'first spoken' when you ask it to abstract a page.
(that is kind of akin to scaning a page visually and reading details
further down). I actually could not resist and went throught the apache
pages with a blind friend.

They are not that bad compared to average. I am now convicing him to
improve them :-)

Roy and Henrik have convinced me that font-based markup is
better in most cases than phrase-based.  The big eye-opener
for me was Roy pointing out that <strong> would result in
a speech synthesiser shouting at the user. :-D  Typically not
the desired effect..
