yeah, i don't think that's a strong argument.

Bah.

I'd rather say:

if <strong> has semantic meaning, so does <small>

<strong> is all about styling, whether it's how it's shown or how the
speech reader speaks is.

similarly with <small>, i think.

i'd never use <small> because it reminds me too much of when I was leaning
HTML by looking at the source of shit I made in AOLPress (yes, it's ok to
laugh... I am too).

personally, i think the tag should be <less-significant>, not <small>.

heh.
