Why is the "em" tag and anything inside being transferred as bold while the standard use would be italic? Shouldn't the "strong" tag reflect the bold type of font style while "em" italic?

In this case, "strong" and "em" appear to return the same font style which might not be very useful.

I've actually found a solution to this problem: if you look in base.css under "Inline Elements" you will find that the 'em' tag is explicitly told to act like the 'strong' tag. All you need to do to fix this is to change the 'e' tag's font-style property to italic and get rid of the font-weight property.
