I think the discussion has gone pretty much down the path that we can
recommend styles and implementation but not enforce them. My own $0.02
is that we can tell people what <b> and <i> are for, distinguish them
from <em> and <strong>, and mention that current practice is for the
browsers to treat them like WP and DTP systems do: make the font-changes
commutative. Beyond that I'm not sure we can do much more: if we added
a <goto> element, people would probably [mis]use it as well...
