I agree. My only point is that the markup format which preserves such
italic emphasis should not be HTML, it should be something else, perhaps
Adobe Acrobat (or whatever they've renamed it to).

I think I see a smiley here, but it's not such a silly idea. I've been
working on something similar, a procedural markup scheme in which the
reason for the markup occurs along with the markup.
