To allow this on the Web, the CSS font-style property would need to have 
not just normal, italic, and oblique values, but also an 
italic-inverse value. Browsers should then use this value by default 
for any inline element where they currently use italic.




No problem!

i {
font-style: italic;
}

i i {
font-style: normal;
}

/* and to be sure */

i i i {
font-style: italic;
}
i i i i  {
font-style: normal;
}

However, on the web nestled em seems to be used mostly to add additional 
level of emphasis, for which I think this might not be suitable. And 
nestled dfn-tags seem absurd to me.

Ok, I've added a rel value similar to nofollow called noreferer that
does this.


While we are unable correct the spelling of referer, we certainly need
not duplicate it for noreferrer.  There must be some end to this
self-humiliation.


I think it's way better to stay consistent. Especially as the feature  
affects the Referer (sic) header.

We're getting off-topic here, but ... That wouldn't deitalicize 
citei, emi, icite, idfn, iem, or ivar, when it 
should. As the levels of nesting increased, the number of permutations 
of these elements would explode. And it's not reasonable to expect any 
author who uses someblockelement {font-style: italic;} to remember to 
also define someblockelement cite, someblockelement dfn, 
someblockelement em, someblockelement i, someblockelement var 
{font-style: normal}.

Going a bit more off-topic, there are people working on solving this
