Well, maybe you can point me to a previous discussion so we don't have to have the same discussion again, but I think it would be superior to use semantic markup. I'm sure everyone's aware of this already, but using visual formatting tags to represent emphasis is discouraged:
In the same way that using semantic tags when all you want is formatting is equally discouraged. Ideally (perhaps) there would be ways of indicating both semantics, and pure formatting. If there isn't, then either solution is really equally bad. I would say that ''italics'' are very rarely used for emphasis in our articles, and much more commonly for simple formatting - names of albums, symphonies, quotations etc. I could be wrong there.
What's the specific problem that <I> tags are causing?
