The intent is the entire point of having proper markup.
It's up to you to mark the INTENT properly:
"Is this a paragraph?"
"Is this italics or emphasis?"
"Is this a blockquote?"
then leave it up to the renderer to render it properly.
Also, it's really baffling... you are the same person who insists on cleaning up
"Really bad CSS" and other dirty code like <div class="p"> to <p>... even insisting on removing "meaningless code" like <p class="indent"> and making them simple <p>.
Why not apply similar logic to <i>/<em>... and all the other HTML markup?

Look at the Wikipedia article on emphasis. Asian languages do not have italics.

It's an HTML renderer.
And whenever your questions do get answered, you shouldn't just change the goalposts, come up with one-sentence quips, then stick your fingers in your ears for 3 years and continue saying nobody has
ever shown you any counterexamples...
Only ADE/RMSDK exist. Only <i> exists. Only bare <p> exist. Other languages‽ What's that? I only read English. Everything else is meaningless.

I've been using Firefox forever.
I begrudgingly use Chrome in very few cases. What's bothering me is they are now turning into the new IE. Many sites are now working
only in Chrome/Chromium, and sites are throwing standards out the window for the bleeding-edge proprietary "but it works in Chrome".
(And now Chrome has been trying cripple plugin functionality to kill off adblockers...)

Yeah, I'm kind of reaching that point. I remember telling you when I implemented the image/font blocking... you told me to go full-on text-only with Lynx.
Those scrolling videos might just be my tipping point. At least on Desktop it's "bearable"... but on Mobile... mother of god...
