It should be noted that <strong> and <em> are not replacements for <b>
and <i> as the former are semantic and not presentational, while the
latter are presentational and not semantic. For example, while the
default presentational representation of <strong> is bold for many
languages, it's not the case for all.
And considering that bold text in some writing scripts would be ugly or
worse illegible on a computer screen ... likewise italic or oblique
doesn't make much sense for some other scripts either.
And <strong> and <em> can be styled appropriately for each language
being used.
