For myself, I use <i> and <em> for accessibility purposes. With most of text to speech programs I've played with, italics such as <i>HMS Ark Royal</i> would simply be read while emphasized words such as <em>STOP! THIEF!</em> will, generally, use a volume increase to emphasize those words. Much the same to <bold> and <strong>.
Not to mention one program I used that used bold for emphasis, that is <em> and <bold> were treated the same when displaying the text.
