So when you wrote that "this is a Word document that must be
508-compliant", you were apparently referring to some assumed future 508
rules (though I don't see which clauses in the draft you are referring to).

"MUST" as per some setup of your processes, but not as something
derivable from the regulations.

Undoubtedly. But when the starting point is that something is required
to be bold italic, then things are specified in terms of rendering, not
in a manner suitable for use of styles.

It depends on the conversion.

As you wrote, you cannot use two character styles on the same piece of
text. You can just use one style that has the desired characteristics,
possibly formed by adding the features of one style when setting up a
style based on the other style.
So why don't you just define such a style or, if available in your
version of Word and you find it acceptable, use the predefined "Intense
emphasis" style?
