  Possibly. It may be a little bit too fine-grained, but it is worth


  text, visually. It has /no/ other meaning, and since the past usage

  be given /any/ meaning. It's not a productive way forward; only another
  step back.

  If we did that, then a huge amount of existing documents would suddenly
  have meaning where no meaning was meant to exist.

  It'll break stuff in a bad way. A new element for de-emphasis, yes,
  but no overload for SMALL. It's illogical and will create a mess.
