Not too familiar with tag clouds, but if you want link characteristics
sized link to some popularity that is a styling issue. This "strength"
attribute regressive back to presentational HTML.

Better:

a.whisper {
font-size: .8em;
volume: soft; /* if you want the effect for the blind */
--

a.announce {
font-size: 1em;
volume: medium; /* if you want the effect for the blind */
--

a.shout {
font-size: 1.5em;
volume: loud; /* if you want the effect for the blind */
--

a.bellow{
font-size: 2.5em;
font-weight: bolder;
volume: x-loud; /* if you want the effect for the blind */
pitch-range: low;
--

a.screech{
font-size: 1.5em;
font-style: italic;
volume: loud; /* if you want the effect for the blind */
pitch-range: high;
--

Take care,
