Question-and-answer.  I wasn't sure which specific subset of
characters were permitted in SGML tags, so I left out the hyphens.

The point was that Jordan introduced some ``emphasis'' markup to make
a distinction which, although useful, had nothing to do with emphasis
at all.  In situations like that, it is preferable to introduce a new
markup element which precisely encapsulates the desired distinction.
