Since docbook is extremely semantical, it misses to differentiate
italic rendering and bold.
There is however an option (role="bold") that can be used, defeating
the purpose of the semantics, and not used at all (until mysqlnd*
started using it outof the blue for unknown reason, probably edited in
a docbook editor?) - which is why it was never implemented.

The rendering expectations is italic and/or bold[1]. We have always
done the "and" as it has been used in ways a "heading" would be
expected. The example you posted is excellent example of that, where a
more semantically meaning markup may have been more useful :/

I think we still need it in tables, at the very least, due to our abuse of it.

[1] Formatted inline. Emphasized text is traditionally presented in
italics or boldface. A role attribute of bold or strong is often used
to generate boldface, if italics is the default presentation.
