Hello Andrew,

For the life of me I cannot think of one legitimate use for the <b> element.
If it's bold then the reason is probably strong emphasis thus <strong>
should be used. Otherwise it should be made bold in the CSS. For the <i>
element, though, I can think of a couple of legitimate uses:
1) To convey thought. Thought as in unspoken dialog should be italicized.
This should be on the page, not CSS-styled so as to retain at least visual
meaning.
Example: <i>That's a good idea</i>, he thought to himself.
2) Language usage such as Latin as this is a long standing convention in
print and must be retained (thus not styled via CSS).
Example: <i lang="la">Lorem ispum</i>
That's my thinking on the matter. Hope it helps.
Respectfully,
Mike Cherim
