Re: Presentational HTML – Semantically Useful or Deprecated?

Using <small> is a very good way to point out the obvious – that it’s supposed to be small. Likewise for <big>. It’s also easier if you’re going to create a website that’ll work for mobile devices.

Try to turn off your CSS, and see the difference when you use <small>/<big>. If you don’t use the tags, you can disable the CSS on my weblog.

Why didn’t you mention <tt> in your blog post? Although it’s big-brother <code> rules town, the <tt>-tag is still in XHTML DTDs 8-)
