Are you trying to create HTML?  AFAICS, the default value for the HTML
'emphasis.propagates.style' is '1', in which case you should be able
to use markup like:

    <para>Some text <emphasis role="bold>with emphasis</emphasis></para>

and get:

    <p>Some text <span class="bold">with emphasis</span></p>

Then you can use CSS to render the emphasised text bold:

    span.bold {
        font-weight: bold;
    }

If you're generating FO, you would need to use a different approach.
Reply if that's what you're doing, and we can go through that.
