Mordechai (if I can presume to speak for him!) is suggesting that 
putting an em tag entirely around a block level element (the dd) is not 
very semantic and a class on the containing dd is more so.
I'm inclined to agree.
While
<div>lorem ipsum dolor <em>sit amet</em> consectetur</div>
would appear to have meaning
<div><em>lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur</em></div>
would appear a little redundant.
<div class="something">lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur</div>
is better.
