[OT]
Thanks for the informative reply Tedd.
I respect your opinion and I don't think my approach is more right
than yours. I am wondering if this is just a DTD thing. I always use
an HTML 4.01 strict DTD and have not used an XHTML doctype in ages.
As far as I can tell, the specs in XHTML say "not recommended", but I
can't find similar text in HTML 4.01 specs.
<b>Jenkins</b> vs. <span class="baz">Jenkins</span>
... to me, the latter seems to be overkill.
<b class="baz">Jenkins</b>
I can't of many times I have done the above... If I need to hook into
the <b> or <i> I might just do this (for example):
<div id="wrapper">Bob <b>Jenkins</b></div>
#wrapper b { do whatever here }

Looking at your site:
http://sperling.com/
Viewing the source code on your homepage, I see <b> used 15 times in
the body copy.
I am assuming that maybe you have no control over that portion of your
site due to the CMS you are using?
Could you imagine using <strong> in all those instances where you used
<b>? Don't you think that would be overkill?
Sorry to everyone for taking this so OT for the PHP list.
