We're getting off-topic here, but ... That wouldn't deitalicize <cite><i>, <em><i>, <i><cite>, <i><dfn>, <i><em>, or <i><var>, 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}".
