 I've noticed that the wordpress admin has a fixed weight of 600 for b and
 strong tags. If I have a heading that has a bold appearance and then bold
 some text in the heading it doesn't become visible because all the text is
 set to 600.

 A simple solution would be to change the strong,b{font-weight:600;} in
 common.css to strong,b{font-weight:stronger;} and let the browser choose
 the bolder weight.

 I can create a patch for this, but I wanted to check if there is a reason
 why there is a fixed weight of 600. Does anyone know why?
