Hi Chris, <b>, <i>, <big> and <small> are still in the spec. But it's best practice not to use them. Don't know really why they were not taken out or deprecated.
<sub> and <sup> are not presentational. There is a valid need for superscript and subscript in markup. For example: E = mc<sup>2</sup> <hr> (horizontal rule) is a misnomer. <hr> is used to separate sections of a text from each other. In XHTML 2.0 it will be renamed to <separator>. W3C uses a hidden <hr> tag on the home page to separate page content from the copyright info.
