I wrote a script [1] awhile ago to do this. I chose not to remove the href attribute because some browser had problems with it (I think it was Opera). The script allows the use of an EM too. I think using an EM is not such a big deal regarding CSS, it is just a matter of adding it to the rules already used for the A in the stylesheet. Making sure to use the ID of the menu with it so not all EM elements would inherit these rules...
