I agree with Michael. oXygen isn't just for editing DocBook. It's an all-purpose XML editor. Different standards will have different element names for the same basic semantic. <Emphasis role="bold"> in DocBook is the equivalent of <b> in DITA and HTML, and ODF and MS OpenXML will have their equivalents as well.

I don't know DITA but <emphasis role="bold"> is not the equivalent of <b> in HTML. DocBook has no equivalent of <b> in HTML. The equivalent of <emphasis role="bold"> in HTML is <em style="font-weight: bold; font-style: plain"> or perhaps <strong>. It is not <b>.

MS OOXML likely attempts to match the presentation based semantics of Word. It is not at all like DocBook. I suspect ODF is similar in that respect.
