Rodent Regatta

Have you ever felt as if you can’t learn fast enough? Studying web standards and web design is like studying history at a pace that covers less than a day in a day. By the time you’ve completed your study of a day, one or two more days of history have been added.

Here I am trying to understand why the text editing box of Movable Type uses [b] and [i] rather than [strong] and [em]. Why can’t I put Movable Type into a mode that helps, forces or causes me to write valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional?
