I'm guilty of turning <i> into <em>, actually. You may shoot me now. (Actually, I resisted many attempts at introducing bold and italics buttons on my web-based editing page. I even introduced a way of indicating which table cells are headers, so that styling will work properly instead of half-assed manual bolding. But no, the users clamored for bold and italics until they threatened to mob me (ok, that last part may be an exaggeration), and so the horrible bold/italics buttons appeared. So far, I've resisted adding a "red" button (apparently, bold and italics aren't enough, sometimes you want something in RED too). I managed to evade that one by having a select box for the status field of the items, one option of which is styled red, and insisting that's the only place red is allowed. We'll see how long I hold out on that one.) T -- Those who don't understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
