@JSWolf — yeah... using <span>s just for italics just feels really cumbersome to me and visually confusing while I'm editing. This is, obviously, merely a "me" problem, so I get it that others are happy to take this approach. but for me the decision tree is simply to <i> or to <em> at this point.
I'm inclined to err on the side of accessibility (especially since a word that's been erroneously emphasized aurally is less bothersome to me than one that's erroneously de-emphasized). However, I'm also struggling to see the <em> effect in practice with the—admitedly simple—text-to-speech programs I've tested. So... until I get more clarity I'm sticking with <i>. Praise regex, going back and switching to <em> should be trivially easy.
In that case, though, I'm also wondering: is it best practice is to include a css feature that specifies the appearance of <em>? e.g.:
em {
font-style: italics;
}
