"The issue is not that it is "bad". It a matter of separation of concerns. This tag is intended to be used for presentation only. It has no other semantic meaning.

Since the move is to have presentation handled by CSS and HTML should only be used for semantic markup, the tag has been deprecated."

In practice <em> and <strong> are only used for presentation.

<em> and <strong> also have meaning. If I put some text in an <em> tag, it's because I want it to have emphasis, no?

Thanks for that. I thought it lagged more than inline center.
