Didn't you mean <b> and <small>?  The normal typography rules for what 
some are saying is becoming the most common language on the web are that 
you use physically smaller text for emphasis.  (There may be a similar 
consideration for strong, i.e. <b>, but I haven't seen any examples in 
printed Chinese.)

Another interesting question might be what convention is used in Chinese 
for what English speakers call "small print".
