I could, but then I didn't really see much sense in having these (and
only these) be configurable.
The Emacs display engine is way too weak to deal with fonts of differing
sizes in general. If you increase the size of h1, for instance, it
won't get filled properly, in addition to the fore-mentioned table
problems.
So I'm not sure having them being customisable is a good thing, because
users will set them and then they will complain about how ugly some
things look.

Couldn't you install a font with italics? :-)
By the way, I just noticed that the font I'm using on this machine
("Inconsolata:pixelsize=27") doesn't seem to have italics, either..
Anybody know how to fix that? I think the font itself should have
italics, but Emacs doesn't display them...
