I don't know DITA but <emphasis role="bold"> is not the equivalent of
<b> in HTML. DocBook has no equivalent of <b> in HTML. The equivalent of
<emphasis role="bold"> in HTML is <em style="font-weight: bold;
font-style: plain"> or perhaps <strong>. It is not <b>.
MS OOXML likely attempts to match the presentation based semantics of
Word. It is not at all like DocBook. I suspect ODF is similar in that
respect.
