How about amending the text to be as follows?
"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 to means for identifying 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."
