Hi Chris / Aardvark,

Having the / at the end of the tag looks like XML ??
I was referring to html4 in my original post.

Sounds good to me.

Hey Aardvark, you said that you had a discussion about the whole B /
strong tag thing
where you are, what was the outcome?

In addition, Arthur reckons DW is at fault RE saying the B tag was
depreciated.
I don't use DW so that's not where I got the idea from, 
like you say - "some pseudo-authoritative source".

You are right though, it is ambiguous.
