That is, more or less, the reason why W3C recommends using <em> rather than <i>. Ideally the ''double apostrophe'' in wiki-syntax will insert <em> (now it inserts <i>), and we'll have styling somewhere along these lines:
.script-latn em { font-style: italic; }
.script-hebr em { font-weight: bold; }
(Of course, this is just a simplistic suggestion and the actual styling may be different.)
I know this was just an illustrative example, but I'm curious whether there's any reason not to use the :lang css construct for cases like this (rather than e.g. .script-hebr)?
So you'd set <body lang="hebr">, then use rules like: :lang(hebr) em { font-weight: bold; }
I'm just checking that there's no good reason not to use this, because that's what I've been doing with an extension I wrote[0] ;)
