"Stay away from Strong. Strong is presentational, same as B, and I. Presentation
should be in HTML and content in HTML.

use <span class="important"> for text that needs to be emphasised."

I would argue to the contrary. Strong has much more meaning than a span class. The word /tag itself implies strength of content rather than a default appearance in a bowser, cf with the <address> tag which indicates an address, even though browser default appearance is italicised.

I would also add that I believe assistive technologies such as screen readers interpret <strong> where as they would ignore a <span>. Therefore use of the HTML element strong has semantic meaning which should not be dismissed.
