I made two minor changes in the first sentence to get:
"The Presentation module, section 5.4.1 of [XHTMLMOD] is supported since it
contains elements that are both structural and presentational, provides
the only method for specifying rules (the hr element), and allows very
simple
printers that might not support CSS a means to provide font variants
such as bold and italic. This module contains the structural mark up
commands
for superscripts and subscripts that allow simple printers to identify and
format these construct without CSS properties. Additionally, this module
provides
common presentational markup commands such as bold, italic, big text, small
text,
and teletype. Supporting this module allows a printer to render these
common
elements in a manner that appropriate for its capabilities."

How about amending the text to be as follows?
