As you've argued in the past, we don't have HTML5 stylsheets at this
time. As for <b> & <i>, "their use is discouraged in favor of style
sheets." We already use strong and em for emphasis, so the remaining
font elements are purely presentational and make it more difficult to
style DocBook (X)HTML output using CSS.

Looking at every single instance above, I don't see a single one that
should remain a <b> or <i> instead of being either removed or changed
to <strong> or <em>. Does anyone want to argue why <b> and <i> should
be preserved for 1.76.1?
Maybe I have missed some previous discussion, but what's the reason
for
changing <b>/<i> into <strong>/<em>?
Also please note that HTML5 is not so antagonistic about <b> and <i>
as
HTML4:
