While the physical markup styles are deprecated in certain flavors of  
HTML, if you want or need physical markup, then you need to use <i> or  
CSS which specifies physical rendering attributes.

<em> is not a "modern" synonym for italics. It is logical markup for  
emphasized text, which may be rendered in italics, or in whatever way  
is appropriate to make the text emphasized for the medium that is  
being used.
