Strong can be interpreted by an aural browser, bold cannot.

Hmm, it says that they aren't depreciated after all, only discouraged.

Yes, that doesn't contradict what I said, though.

No, it's the way it's designed. If you want to control layout, use PDF, HTML

looks. CSS can be used to determine how the HTML is displayed, but
ultimately it is down to the user/browser.
