Problem with <mark>/<m> is that its meaning is confusing.
I don't think it's any more confusing than <hi> would be. See below...
And still don't see any difference with <em> or <strong>. How would youpronounce an important word? How would you pronounce a highlighted word? Even on the semantic level I can't see the point.
Try to compare it with <ins> and <del>, it's an element concerned with editing a document post-authorship, not marking up the document's inherent structure.
I don't think it would be confusing *provided* it was listed next to <ins> and <del> on all those ‘Learn HTML5 in 24 Hours’ sites/books/ specifications that people will actually learn about it from. Doing this would allow 99% of such people to ignore it like they currently ignore <ins> and <del>, and therefore won't confuse anyone.
