"Bold" describes how to render the text.  "Strong" describes
an attribute of the text.  Many browsers render "strong" text
using a bold font, but there is no requirement to do so.
"Strong" is just another way of adding some sort of emphasis,
just like the E tag.  I agree it's a subtle distinction.

Perhaps it's better to markup your document (if you can)
using the more descriptive tags like Q, CITE, BLOCKQUOTE,
CODE, etc.

Cheers!  Hans
