Actually, <i> is still part of xhtml strict:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtdentry_xhtml1-strict.dtd_i
It is use for italics only, and so that is the only place we use it, so 
it should be i, not em

Thanks for the comments about font.
The issue is that the NSAttributedString's initWithHTML doesn't read 
the information in a style tag, and font is now obsolete -> 
NSAttributedString's HTML parser without WebKit is obsolete -> any 
system without WebKit (10.1 users and 10.2 w/o Safari) is obsolete -> 
Fire is obsolete since it still supports 10.1.  Yuck!  (Couldn't resist 
such a ridiculous logic chain)


I am at the point of making my own html parser from the XML data tree 
for this exact reason.  It would only need to implement span, i, b, u, 
a, br, p, and img to do everything we need.  I am looking at this 
format:
       <span style="color: #555555; background-color: #ffffff; font: 
10pt times">metoo has joined thischat</span>
       <span style="font: 10pt apple chancery">Yo </span>
       <span style="color: #0000d5; font: 10pt times">Hey</span>
       <span style="color: #0000d5; font: 10pt times">How is it 
going?</span>

How does that look?
