Fine -- you have me here on details -- but they are still similar in
the languages you noted; they are only one letter apart; and given
that the tag "em" is short for the English word "emphasis" (and
despite any phonetic wrangling you might provide is pronounced just
like the letter m by every English speaker with whom I work) I still
say this is a problem. Elements so similar in meaning should have
unmistakably different tags to avoid confusion. Confusion on <em> is
bad enough already.
