5. BetterRed: Foreign word/restaurant (<i>) + emphasized words (<em>)
6. Semi-Related Issue: Syntax Highlighting

With an eInk Reader, how would the following words in <em> look?

<i>This is a test of the <em>emergency broadcast system</em>.</i>

I tried this using Calibre's viewer and all I got was a line of italic text. <em> showed nothing. So without using CSS to redefine <em>, what do you get? If you have to redefine <em>, why not use <span> with a class?
