I'm not sure I'm wild about the idea of stratification of emphasis since it's not really stratified like headings are. Also em and strong aren't levels of emphasis; they are different types of emphasis. Now, there aren't individual English labels for these different types of emphasis, but as mentioned before in this thread, they can be described. Either way, rather than adding stratification, let the amount of emphasis for each type be specified by the author through classes and language. E.g. a Japanese man (at least in the movies) might pronounce strong quickly, forcefully, and quietly; and it would be represented, possibly, by smaller text and not larger text. What we're missing in reality is per-language default stylesheets that are culturally aware.
