You are conflating semantics and style. If the meaning of the tag is that its contents are emphasized, then you use <em></em>.
What you can do is add a style rule in your CSS, like:
Code:
i em {
font-style: normal;
}
This preserves the semantic meaning of the tags while allowing you to control the presentation/style.
