No it isn't. I guess I should update my article. Moving this thread to  
www-html as www-html-editor is clearly not the right list.

Tags are only relevant if you're discussing source code or authoring  
requirements. If you're explicitly talking about the "<p> element start  
tag" or something. Otherwise you should just refer to them as elements. As  
in: "The <i> element indicates italics."
