You might also caution that such tags may not cross paragraph boundaries.
My understanding is that they have to be reinvoked each paragraph, ie the
following is illegal:
<html><head>...etc...</head>
<body><h1>some header</h1>
<p>some text <i>italicised from here on...
<p>And in this para too, but stopping here</i>.
..
I know it may look cutesie, and most browsers probably couldn't care less,
but I don't think that will parse no way.
