But you shouldn't be using <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic"> anyway. 
You should be looking at what the boldness or italicness _means_, and either using the 
appropriate semantic HTML element or (if one doesn't exist) defining a CSS class named 
after this semantic.

This is also about making code self-documenting.
