Semantically it makes little difference. However, in terms of style sheets, these are two different cases. Also, some browsers don't even get the simple nesting right (I think there was a bug report on Amaya on this recently), and I don't think any have rules in their default style sheets, or hard coded equivalent, to cope with recursion of em or strong, although these are meaningful, even if difficult to render in speech. > 2. Should I use strong or em for titles, like in a bibliography? Or, if the No. You should use the designed for the purpose element, cite.
