But I want the layout to be good for all users.  What about
browsers that let me use <b></b> but not <strong></strong>? 
That would mean that users of older browsers would not see
bold text if the <strong> was used in place of <b>.

I really want to experiement with style sheets and will do
so but I think it is premature to declare them the end of
life as we know it.
