Comment:

 @mcnesium, welcome to trac!

 We've decided to close this as wontfix for a number of reasons:

 * xhtml is still widely used so html5 can't be assumed,
 * despite the disconnect between the buttons, we feel strong and em are
 more semantically correct, and,
 * as you identify, a similarity between word-processors and the WordPress
 editor is important.

 Thanks.
