Best way to do italic and bold
In the EPUB I am editing from a publisher they have used span classes for all italic and bold, which seems crazy to me, but not worth altering now. Is there any reason anyone can think of when span classes would be good for that? Or is it perhaps a PDF-to-EPUB conversion thing (I believe they made the EPUB from a scan of the book).

In Sigil I notice <i> tags are used instead of <em>, and <b> instead of <strong>. The tags <i> and <b> seem very old-fashioned to me, in terms of web design, but is it an EPUB thing? If I were making an EPUB from scratch myself I'd like to use <em> and <strong>. Is that allowed?
