it's XHTML, but since both <b> and <strong> have end tags, there 
is no reason to use a '/'... i think he was just using shorthand for 
<b></b>, etc...

we chose to stick with <b>... we have a series of clients who will 
maintain their sites, and they want to be able to get into the code 
and edit it... the <strong> and <em> confused them, so we kept it 
as <b> and <i>, both of which are mnemonically easy to 
remember/associate as well...

however, for a site for a blind organization that we are working on, i 
will most likely use <strong> and <em>, style them to be bold and 
italic, respectively, and leave it at that...
