So would it be safe to say you could normalize your b and i's and then class 
them?

<b class="bold"></b> and <i class="italic"></i>

Then when you hit an old browser the b and i will be presentational in their 
originally intended way as a fall back?

Bootstrap does something similar to this I believe with their ui icons.
