Thank you for proving my point. In that case, <i> probably is the better tag as is not about emphasis. But, if it was about emphasis, such as someone shouting, then using <em> or <strong> could be a better choice.

It's about recording the semantics so that they can be used later. Even if it is just so that the author/book creator can change something later.
