I vote for <b>

<b> is deprecated, <strong> is the way to go outside CSS

Hi Fred,
I agree with your advice, but the word "deprecated" has specific
meaning, usually that the feature in question will be removed in the
future. This isn't the case with <b>.



It was Timmermans who said it was depreciated. I know sometimes it gets kind
of hard to follow who says what. Normally if it is somehow speaking about
fish and doobies it will be Fred.:-)
