EM is used to indicate emphasized text. While it is often rendered identical to I, italics, using EM rather than I is preferred. It allows the browser to distinguish between emphasized text and other text which can be drawn in italics (for example citations, CITE).
EM text should be rendered distinct from STRONG text.
