What I'm saying is that <em> & <strong> is no different than using <span> with a class. In fact, <i> & <b> are also no different since you can change them via CSS.
In the example GrannyGrump gave, I've never seen any commercial eBook use <em> & <strong> for anything other than italics and bold. When text is being changed, it's done via a <span>. Yes, I know some prefer to use <em> & <strong> and that's fine. But technically, no different. |

VISUALLY no different. But Semantically, and for TTS, and perhaps other use-cases, --- yes, they ARE technically different.
Ok, I will stop now... |

My observation is that some of these works are much more carefully coded that just about any commercial book I've seen, especially fictional works. Next time I come across one that uses <em> for semantic italics and <i> for typographical italics I'll send you the link. I think I've seen them in ECB and/or EIB publications. |
