Standard problem is citing a title (which is usually emphasized)
which itself cites the title of a book, like in
\emph{Innocence in Mark Twain's \emph{Innocents Abroad}}. Here the
inversion of emphasis is standard procedure and makes sense. (of
course, in the best of all worlds that would be taken care of by
a semantic tag like <title>, but that is not in our world.)
