Of course. I'm merely talking about the default presentation. Most 
visual user agents's default style for the <em> element is italic fonts; 
similarly, red and green backgrounds would IMO be a sane default for 
<notice> elements. But the author will, as always, be able to override 
the presentation using style sheets.
