A better question is what to do with this:

    *hello **dear* boy**

That’s a very good question. Here’s a counterquestion: what does
a human reader see in that text? Based on the visual apperance I
think I would make it translate to this:

    <em>hello <strong>dear</strong> boy</em>

Really.

Regards,
See, now that's not at all what I inferred from this case. If we infer different meanings here then there are undoubtedly many cases we can't even think of that would be inferred differently. How is the spec supposed to handle all this? Admittedly we can just go back and make changes if the result doesn't match our expectations but which was the real error in that case? The result or the expectation?

BTW I inferred

<em>hello <strong>dear</em> boy</strong>

which maybe for strict XHTML should be

<em>hello <strong>dear</strong></em><strong> boy</strong>
