For '' and ''' we produce
<em> and <strong> tags rather than <i> and
<b>. Is this right or wrong?
Arguments against are presented by one of our own Wikipedians, claiming
it's an abuse of semantic markup:

About the only argument in favor is "that's what UseMod did, and Wiki
before it".
To give another argument: '' is also used for example for book titles.
In that case making it <em> is simply wrong, it should become <cite>
instead. Because the software is unable to see when <em> and when <cite>
is meant, we might as well make it <i>.
