One contingent, in which I would count myself, wants this thing to be

don't want to see anything more specific than <bold> and <smaller>, and
I want the display semantics associated with those to be explicitly left
up to the UA implementation, with no standardized guidance and as little
folklore guidance as possible.
This doesn't mean that things like the <smaller><smaller> abc </smaller>
xxx </smaller> issues don't need to be clarified: clearly they do.
I am in complete agreement with John on this point.
