I'm one of the loosers that creates html by hand. I have no trouble
understanding and writing <b>This word is <i>italic</i></b>
if there is a </em> tag then *I* would expect tho end any emphasis
and return to the normal font.
I know this implies that <em b><em i> hdhdh</em> isn't very nice from
a parsers viewpoint, but to end the correct em I would suggest using
<em b><em i> hdhdh</em i>still bold</em b>.
So my suggestion is to include a tag to end any emphasis and </em> seems
most logical to me. If you want to end only the italic emphasis use </em i>.
This means that <em b><em i>bold italic when possible</em></em> would be
wrong (there is one /em too many)
Note that this is just the way I *feel* things, not that I really want
that to happen.
