HTML 5 appears to have obsoleted <strike> but *not* <s>:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/obsolete.html#non-conforming-features


Judging by the spec actually, <s> sounds more right than <del> for most usages
other than document addition/removal markup:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/text-level-semantics.html#the-s-element
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/edits.html#the-del-element

I don't see any active use of <strike> in MediaWiki or any of our SVN
extensions; it's allowed through the HTML sanitizer, and that would be the
place to normalize it to <s> if necessary in future.


Retooling this to an enh request to normalize <strike> to <s>.
