But there should be a way to override the EM rendering if the EM is 
part of a pseduo-element.

Consider:

P:first-letter { font-size: 2cm; }
EM { font-size: larger; }

<P><EM>Hello</EM> out there puts an EXTREME emphasis on the first 
letter of Hello, even though the EM would likely be happier with the 
2cm on it's first letter:

P:first-letter { font-size: 2cm; }
EM { font-size: larger; }
EM:first-letter { font-size: 2cm; }
