Couple of questions:

Is that css necessary to get any stress effect at all, or do the TTS programs that apply semantic rendering automatically apply stress to <em> tags, even in the absence of specific css direction?
The <em> and <strong> tags should automatically trigger the stress. The modifications in the CSS can be used to modify the default behaviour.

Jon seems to believe that if an ePub does not perform optimally with ADE 2, then it should not have been created and he has no fear in repeating his opinions ad infinitum. As in this thread where despite the existence of people whose vision is too poor to allow reading an ePub and so will use a TTS reader, adding semantics and accessibility features does nothing for him personally and so are malum in se.
