Just because people don’t follow the semantics for em vs i does not invalidate the standard.
It sucks that your experience shows people don’t do their jobs very well… if you want to jump on that train… well, as they say, you do you booboo. I’m going to follow the standard as much as I can.
As for me… I’m done with this repetitive argument.
Cheers!

You are getting sucked into something that should not exist. <em> and <strong> are the same as <i> and <b>. So why use <em> and <strong> when they do noting different to <i> and <b>?
As was said, the author using a word processor to create the book is not going to want <em> and <strong> in place of <i> and <b> as long as the text looks bold and italic where it's wanted. I don't know of any word processor that will use <em> and <strong>. I don't know of any author that even cares. How is <i> & <em> and <b> and <strong> supposed to read differently by a TTS? I've never heard a human read audiobook have different ways of saying something that's bold or italic.
