It's similar to how HTML went from <i> and <b> to <emph> and <strong>.
The former were presentation directives. The latter are semantic
directives. They're practically the same, for reasons of backwards
compatibility, and conceptual continuity. Org's emphasis markers are
similar -- they *look* like presentation directives, but at this point
they're actually used as semantic directives.
