What do you mean by "style elements implicitly > associated with the

tag" ? I mean the following. AFAIK, it is possible with CSS to specify that ordinary text will be, say, Times New Roman 12pt single spaced while any

text will be Helvetica 14pt double spaced. In fact, if you specify any properties for

text with CSS, there will be a great chance of them different from the default properties of ordinary text. By "implicitly" (perhaps a poorly chosen word) I meant that you write "

something" just to get a new paragraph, but get a different style for the text unexpectedly if you don't control the CSS. And vice versa, you may need to always use

if the CSS defines finer style for

text, but leaves ordinary text at its defaults. -- Yar
