The difference between <b> and <strong>, is that <b> is highlighting with out
making the word important.
As it is very hard to know if the users sees a word as "should be highlighted"
or "has importance" and both provide roughly the same function and most
software renders them the same, both are acceptable. It would be fine if Safari
used either, but it uses a span with a style witch is as generic as it can get,
and to provide any function the software would have to understand CSS and not
just HTML.
That said I am in favor of <strong> as the users is likely to mark a word in
bold because it has importance.
