Bed

As part of the Bed And Breakfast issue of Semantically Correct markup - we need to avoid the misuse of the <B> (and <I>) tag.

The first way it is misused is instead of using headers.

We should also aim to use <EM> and <STRONG> tags instead of <I> and <B> as the first two tags have meaning while the last two imply presentation.

The other aspect of the misuse of <B> is that it is often used to replace header tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) as has already been said above the bold tag has no meaning while a header tag - it shows they heirarchy of the tags on the page and so allows you to define the various sections of the page's content. They are also very useful for SEO as they can be used to give relevance to important headers (and thus keywords).
