Without reviewing your change, I would take issue with the accessibility 
tools that treat inline style elements as headers.  I will update the 
issue in JIRA.

As I understand it, it is against WCAG to use styles to simulate 
headers, so can you please provide a reference that justifies that 
<strong> and <i> should be interpreted as headers.  In particular, what 
if these inline elements are embedded within a larger block element, 
such as a paragraph?
