Actually, "b" and "i" have not been formally deprecated in any standard.
The closest thing to a prohibition on these elements is WCAG 1.0's
Checkpoint 3.3 "Use style sheets to control layout and presentation."
If semantic meaning is not intended by<b> and<i> then replace
with<span class="bold"> and<span class="italic"> and create those
CSS styles.
"em" is for stress.
"strong" is for strong stress.
In the third case, where semantic meaning _is_ intended by bold or
italic but that meaning is _not_ stress, it's best to use relevant
specific elements ("code", "var", "cite", "q", "kbd", "samp", etc.?) or
failing that class names that express meaning not just style (
