Yes, and it is the same with Style Sheets, so

|
| <em class="underlined">Don't mention the war!</em>
|
| with the stylesheet declaration
|
| .underlined {text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal}

"underlined" is no good name for a class. As you said: use names for classes
that carry the *meaning* of what you're trying to describe. If you later want
you EM red, bold and italic instead of underlined, it would be very confusing,
if the name of the class is 'underlined'.
