This works with <em> just as well. Have a look at refdb.css:

em.periodical 	{	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
					font-size: 80%;
					font-style: italic;
					color: #003366;
					background-color: transparent;
				}				

em.volume 	{	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
					font-size: 80%;
					font-weight: bold;
					color: #003366;
					background-color: transparent;
				}

What is the particular advantage of this approach?
