Bold text is used to highlight headings and things like pull-quotes; italic text is used to emphasize content in the body. In HTML this would translate as headings being bold and emphasis in body content (<em>) would be italic. This is why the default style for em in browsers is italic but not bold, and headers are bold but not italic. I think the best option for now is to revert my change until I can deal with the effects in the documentation since we've relied on the bold behavior so much. Anyone know where the best place to put a wiki-specific style is?
