Headings are Block level elements the margin/padding will not have the
desired effect.

Try using an Inline element:

h2 em {padding:5px 0; border-top:1px solid #333;border-bottom:1px solid #333;}

<h2><em>bordered headline</em><h2>
> For this you will need to use a span and class. Your HTML will then end up

> 
> <p>Some words in your sentence <span class="productCaps">A</span>sthma<span
> class="productCaps">Q</span>uell.</p>
> 

You could reduce the typing by inheritance:

p.Caps i {font-weight:bold;color:red;}

<p class="Caps"><i>A</i>sthma<i>Q</i>uell</p>

I tend to use <i> or <b> to apply styles without adding semantic
structure as in <strong> or <emphasis> is that correct??
