Delete HTML Tag with VIM

I want to delete a single tag, like <strong>. I don't want to delete anything else, just that tag.

dat deletes <strong>content</strong>

dit deletes content.

df> works, but I have to have the cursor on <, otherwise it does not.

I want a quick set of key presses that deletes the entire tag without being quite so cursor-sensitive. Is that possible?

Vim is able to match parenteses and such. So you should be able to use da< or da> to delete a tag.

dawdaw could do, but it's probably too long. You could bind it...

:map <F12> dawdaw

Also, it works only if you're inside the tag name.
