I think that it is still up to web designers to decide whether they want to use all CSS or use some html tags. I also agree that in the situation of a technical paper or any kind of article-type writing, strong and em tags should be used. I think that if you are setting any other CSS properties for the text, then use CSS, otherwise, use the html tags, except for technical papers or whatever where you would always use strong and em so that programs like Jaws, which reads the screen out loud, realizes that it is more important. I realized this when making a website for an organization for the blind and visually handicapped. That is how I did it.
