You could use <span style="font-weight: bold">, but what's the point of that?
Because it would be correct HTML.
Using <b> and <i> where what you really want is to make it bold and italic isn't deprecated.
Incorrect, they are deprecated exactly for that reason, because the HTML should in no way imply the style and appearance of the content. Let CSS take care of that. Of course, you could do <span class="i"> and <span class="b"> instead, to make it neater. And it would follow the standard too.

You should use CSS instead of <b> and <i> but if the meaning is "make this bold" (as is the case from mediawiki, where we can't infer any more relationship), it is perfectly fine to use <b>. As opposed to <s>, which *is* deprecated.
