Well, thanks for all the suggestions. Here are the results:

CSS is properly linked. There is only one style sheet.
I created and have been the only one to work on the file, but that's not to say I didn't introduce errors.

ADE shows the bolded words properly, but they did not show in Sigil Book View or Calibre preview.

It seems that <span> for bolding is simply not displays properly in Sigil. The "bold" button works fine, but inserts the <b> code. Oddly enough, <span> works OK for italics.

Late now, so I'll take a closer look in the morning and do some more testing on when I'm fresh.
