Every Letter? Absurd

While allowed, A redefined b to something else is confusing.

Let us leave standard tags (mostly) as is
Bold is bold
Italic is slanty

You might tweak the size or line-space, but they are still what they say

Bloat comes from people spanning everything instead of just the differences:

Code:

<p><span class="bloated-normal">This is Span<\span> <span class"underscore">Abuse</span> <span class="bloated-normal">at it's worse.</span></p>

Code:

<p class="normal">This is Span done <span class"underscore">nicer</span> more normally.</p>
