<application> appearance in HTML

[Warren Block]

The current CSS makes <application> elements appear in bold text in 
XHTML.  For example:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html

This repeated use of bold makes for uncomfortable and fatiguing reading.

Allan and I have searched for less severe forms of highlighting. 
Without resorting to color, there are not many options.  The best I've 
seen so far is font-variant: small-caps;, but that is quickly annoying 
also.

My suggestion at this point is to just remove the CSS entry for 
applications.  The application names are names, and recognizably 
distinct from other words on their own.

Unless there are complaints, I will plan to remove the .application 
entry from docbook.css before the end of this week.
