What is the difference between HTML tags b and strong and similarly i and em?

[Edit]

The b tag promises bold text. The i tag promises italicized text.

The em tag is used to emphasize text -- this could mean one browser will italicize it, bold it, or whatever -- it all depends on the browser.
The strong tag is used to strongly emphasize text -- basically, a step up from the em tag. this also has no standard on how it will be displayed.
