Because I don't want all <i> tagged text to be red, only the text where the author has used italics for emphasising a word or phrase

EXACTLY!
I want EMphasis when someone is shouting. or laughing. or sarcastic, or whatever. I might decide to style the EMphasis as BOLD.
I want *I*talics for book titles, ship names, foreign-language fragments, *TYPOGRAPHICAL "emphasis"* such as a chapter title. These should remain as italic, because that is the accepted convention (not only in style guides, but to meet people's expectations)
Why does this seem like such a difficult concept?
