Just tested it (NN2-6, IE5.5, Op 3 and 5)

DEL is not supported by NN4 (and Opera 3', so no go.
NN4 does support the CSS (to my surprise).
S is not supported by Opera. Too bad.
STRIKE is the only tag that NN2 supports, so it is the most backward 
compatible one available.

I recommend to continue using STRIKE or to go directly to the CSS 
declaration.
