Hrrr.
It's quite clear, that only the author has inserted the tags
- thus the text will appear to any other user as intended by
the use of the tags (even to the author as "user").

I found the arguments quite convincing - why deprecate the tags?
Noone has till now brought an argument to deprecate them...
