Sadish, if it is purely for display purposes, I would NOT use <b> or <i>. I would use CSS, like you're supposed to.
<b> and <i> are soon to be deprecated HTML elements that have no semantic meaning whatsoever.

you are right on that too...
the main idea I wanted to convey is, 'strong' and 'em' are has more meanings to themselves instead of just visual representation.
Thanks.

Is "semantic" value lost by applying a class – rather than using phrase elements?

if it is purely for display purposes, you would have used < b > < i > something < / i > < / b >
but < strong > and < em > are different .
if your web page is read by a screen reader software, for the blind people, it reads your raw html / xhtml and when it sees a strong or em tag, it says it LOUDER than the other words so the user gets the meaning of it.
thats the idea.
