This says it best really, > and for best > rendering, we turn off font styles in the options of microsoft windows > internet explorer. since users can turn off font styles then there is no reason why you should not use italic or bold styles. The people that may find them an issue can turn them off. I personally think it a bad move to equate accessibility with a total lack of presentation. If accessibility means catering only to the lowest common demoninator then a lot of sites are going to get very dull. While some people can't see italics with total clarity many can, and those that can't have the option to turn them off which means there shouldn't be a depreciation the quality of their internet experience.
