I don't realy see why they are trying to get rid of <i>. I currently use both.
If I explicitly what something in italics, I use <i>. If I'm going to place some emphasis on some text I use <em>.
For me this seems like a sensible choice as it allows me to then set in the CSS the behaviour of the tags, and with them using two different tags I have better control of my formatting.
I'd rather not have to start using span tags as this just appears to make the code look messy.
