a bold question with a slant !!

Hi,

Good to hear from Omega!
I asked this question to Sebastian Rahtz some time back.
In HTML you have:

<b><i>Some thing</i></b> = <i><b>Some thing</b></i> =
=<b><i><b>Some thing</b></i></b>.

"<b>" & "<i>" act like commutative Idem-potent operators (<b>^2=<b>, 
<i>^2=<i>).

Can Omega (LaTeX3++) behave this way?

Anyway this HTML behavior is incorrect (from what the typesetters tell me).
It should more like a off/on toggle, i.e., <b>^2={} (i.e... <b>^3=<b>).
..in LaTeX of course you have other things like "slant" "script" etc...

P.S.: I was told that they discovered WMD in Mars, is that true?
