Thats not the proposal of the topic. Let me explain you the basic of html.

A long time ago html was only a code. And each browser tryed to make a visual way to render the code. But there was no rule, noone told to this browser the default line-height, or alot of other visual proprieties.. So each browser naturally render the code in your own way. Thats the reason they created w3c, to try to make a standart way to do things.

When you make a html code, you have to imagine it in a Text Only browser. And let the CSS give the visual. The default visual(css) properties of each object is different in each browser. IE, example, consider the padding of element as part of the element size.
There are elements that are pretty the same in all browsers like: strong or em. But in a bigger way to see the web, you have the imagine your html just as a code. And your css give it the design. Do you need to reset all the objects? No necessary, alot of them are going in the same direction after w3c, but its the CSS that gives to the code it design. Reset everything and tell to the browser how each thing will be, and you will have the standart.

Check the "i" you hated so much. Isnt it opening the same in all browsers? So, its ok. Html5 is not yet, so.. for any company or any kind of internet business where public is the reason to exist, the most standart is better.

Why w3c says many things? Cause it point of view is based in people dont need to explain how each tag will work, w3c exists to dream in all browser do the default css things, but as you probably already know, that doesnt happen. When that be real will be great, the css codes will be smaller.

The main reason is that noone is the html owner, so noone has the right to say whats wrong. But w3c is here to try to be this thing.

So I will not talk about this again, really is not the focus. If you answer, or other offtopic things I will ignore, dont wanna be rude. But its like you have a young brother that says the day has 25 hours. You know its 24 (actually more, you know its 23:59), but your brother really likes to show its point of view, that doesn't make you rude to hate to be explaining why its 24. But you really has most important things to do.

So I edited the other post to be like you prefer, now there is no "i" element there. than there is no reason to talk about this. Once again sorry to be rude, but I will ignore other posts.
