Sorry to take so long to get back Andy. I want to keep the strong tag is it depicts a "selected" state on the navigation.
Basically, the image is positioned absolutely in the LI, the LI has a fixed height which is half that of the image. If there is a strong tag around the image, it shifts up 50%, showing a selected state. I hope that makes sense, that's why I would only want it sometimes. If you want me to post more code up, let me know.
