I agree with this. I agree with this so much that I fail to see how you relate that to 0393. In 0393, there is no "sending client" per se, there is only receiving clients. One cannot distinguish between intended and accidental markup. I, as a receiver, can choose not to display markup, or to display what may or may not be markup. Also with 0393, I as a sender cannot ensure the semantic meaning will go through. I generally use "*foo*" to indicate an action. This has nothing to do with bold. My next "*foo*" might actually just be bold, but you can't distinguish between the two. I would like to be able to tell you that, so you(r client) make(s) the correct decision when displaying it. -- Maxime “pep” Buquet
