em {font-style:normal;}
strong {font-weight:normal;}

This way, everyone wins.

More like "normal people die" kind of scenario if you ask me. You taked away meaning from those tags for everybody but those with text readers. You can specify it to only work in the thead or whereever you'd like, for example ...

What is this thread about then, if this isn't a helpful solution?

That's the point. If you don't want your theads, for example, being bolded but want screen readers to know to emphasize them, just style them into being invisible.
