We brought up the same arguments back then. I didn't hear a good argument against the separation of semantic/physical markup. And my statement was related to the lyx-users list.

But it includes removing emph and noun and replacing it with textit and textsc. The same applies for the menus. We can introduce bold to the menus, but not together with noun and emph, but with textsc and textit. If we do not get the difference between semantic and physical markup ourselves, how could we expect from our user to get it? Jürgen
