Hmmm,  I'm probably missing something here, but I see that applying this any
<i> element is rendered as a block element by IE6/Win, which is not
desirable: it cannot be used when you have, for example, an inline set of
italicized words inside a not totally italicized paragraph.
On the other hand, if you have a block element totally consisting of italic
text, then this is exactly what is suggested in the article (except for the
use of 'zoom' in place of 'height' to give layout, but I believe they are
equivalent here...)  Do you have an example where this works better?
