yeah my question was more the why on the human side, I just wonder if it was a purposeful omission or whether it was simply overlooked.

I strongly suspect the latter.  The dev forums are failrly quiet on the subject.  I can't think of any reason why someone would deliberately allow <em> and omit <strong> (unless they have a pathological dislike of HTML elements with more than a couple of letters)!

< em> is probably used as < i> is not valid XHTML, whereas the substitution for < strong> is just < b> (which is still valid) so they probably decided < strong> wasn't needed.

The i entity is present in the XHTML-1.0-Strict document type definition.

Hmmm...always thought they replaced it with < em > in XHTML, not that XHTML is that important anymore...
