Well, it depends on what styles are associated with .bold . Maybe you
want it to be blue as well as heavier? Maybe you want to give it a
different kind of appearance for printing, or a special aural style?
I agree that, as a class name, "bold" is kind of redundant (indeed, why
not use b or strong), but if you want greater styling control, a span
might be better.
