Mosh's example is a little over the top. *bold* and _italic_ are actually the 'standard' forms of emphasis in Usenet, dating back more than a decade (now, that makes me feel old!). I've encountered several email clients that use this sort of annotation to embolden and italicize text - in fact, open up MS Word and you'll see it converts *bold* and _italic_ automatically for you! Jochem's point is that <em> and <strong> are better ways to add emphasis in HTML (rather than <b> and <i>).
