title: What is the need to reset bold <b> or italic <i> HTML tags?
body: <p>Following a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9751679/what-could-cause-a-bold-tag-b-to-be-ignored#comment12405173_9751679">question</a> I just asked, what is the need for a <code>reset.css</code> to cancel the effect of bold <code>&lt;b&gt;</code> or italic tags <code>&lt;i&gt;</code>? What is this good for? What issue does it solve? What would be wrong with using <code>&lt;b&gt;</code> in HTML?</p>
  
  <p>I am asking this question, because I am using a delivered <code>reset.css</code> and I want to get rid of this normalization. But is this safe? Is there a corner case I am missing? </p>
