We're getting off-topic here, but ... That wouldn't deitalicize

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}".
