What kind of question is that. This has nothing to do with <i> and <em>.

What I say is that I do not think the design principles should take 
positions on specific elements.

Explicitly mentioning two certain elements to prevent discussion is I 
think not something that the design principles should do. If it’s a 
permathread, that would only suggest that there are very different 
opinions on the matter, and the design principles should stay away from 
these kind of special mentions and stick to global concepts. If you do 
not agree with me here, I could name a number of other candidates for 
‘special mention’ as well, which I then suggest we also add to the 
design principles because they will prevent recurring discussion threads.
