Semantic markup vs CSS styling for emphasis

Hi folks,

I'm currently in an interesting debate regarding the use of the phrase tags
<strong> and <em> for emphasis as opposed to styling the content using CSS.
I only have HPR at my disposal. So I wondered if anyone could shed some
light on the following questions.

1. Do JAWS or Windows-Eyes support CSS and if so up to what level?
2. Do you ever use CSS for emphasis or like me would you only use semantic
markup.

Many Thanks
Mark
