Ugggh. Don't remind me. For one of the people I mentioned, I modified an ePub ebook changing most of the <em> tags to <i>. Pretty mindless search for <em, check if it is a name or other item that is supposed to be italic, modify or leave and move on to the next. Oddly, the only strong tags I had to change to bold were the one involved in the chapter titles. 30 of the most boring minutes I've spent in the last couple of years. I also used the Access Aide plugin and some skull sweat and spent another hour making the ePub as good a match to the accessibility guidelines as I could manage. Doing this during the production of the epub would have added, IMNSHO, at most 10 minutes.
BTW, the original complaint was due to using <em> tags to italicize the first phrase in each paragraph.
