> David, thanks for putting together this table.   For H49 - I think we should still recommend semantic markup for emphasis, etc.  This item relates to Failure F2.  Browsers for example italicize the em element. Some users with low vision have difficulty reading italic text and may desired to have style sheets that change how the em element is displayed.    User shouldn't be forced to guess at semantic meaning by looking at CSS rules when there is a semantic element available that should be used.  Since this isn't a failure I think we should keep the H49.
