In certain typesetting situations one uses italic fonts for quoting a
sentence or two. Emphasized text within the quoted text needs to be
so represented, and this is commonly done by using roman text within
the italic text. In a content markup this would be correctly modeled
by <emph> within <emph>; all processors should understand it to have
order 2 effect, i.e., <emph> within <emph> within <emph> is the same
as simple <emph>.
