On: <i>: The Idiomatic Text element

Then there's the matter of languages such as Japanese that use a different set of characters (katakana) both to indicate emphasis and to mark foreign loan-words. Would katakana characters still be enclosed in an <i> element? Would styling be modified accordingly?

Perhaps you could add emphasis dots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphasis_mark)!
