details of text presentation like font switches aren't something xiphos decides or controls. these come out of the filters in the underlying sword library. basically, xiphos asks the engine for a block of text, the engine returns it, and xiphos pastes that into the pane, blind to the details of it.
i will send a note to the sword developers' list, but there is nothing to be done about it in xiphos itself.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There is no bug. SVNhead of the library produces for every <hi type="attribute"> a - but for a small number of attributes which have special handling (super, sub, overline, I think).</hi>
I do think though that this is only in svn head of libsword, so to see it you would need to compile your own. Also, there needs to be css somewhere to create rendering instructions. There are none for this coming out of libsword - and this is on purpose.
That aside - if you look on page 78 of the OSIS handbook you will see that "hi" should only be used if you do not know which semantic tag should be used.

Sorry, wrong milestone. I'm using current stable version (4.0.2)

BTW there was typo in the title. Correct type is "emphasis". Thanks for forwarding to sword devs.
