I've never heard of it, so it probably doesn't exist, and if it does, then there aren't any browsers that use it yet. It's the same story with ACSS (Aural Cascading Style Sheets. See http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.com and click on the green link "New Page").

If it's been parsed out ans the DTD created includes this tag.. it could well be from XML!!

Could possibly be some dodgy XML?

I think it's a tag either for stupid people or browsers like lynx/links.

It's probably connected to non-visual browsers then. Like the 'alt' tag.

Wooooooh

*Rattles chains*

It means nothing. Put it in the code and you will see no change. It might make the font slightly bolder, but there is no discernable effect.

An acronym stands for something, eg APT stands for Advanced Packaging Tool, GNU stands for GNU's Not Unix, GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program etc... I don't think the tag actually exists.
