A good example is that of bibliographies, where font styles carry significant semantic meaning (depending on the standard used: italic for book titles, ibold or talic for volume and issue numbers, and so on.) The xml output reflects none of this.

In either case, they could be implemented as highlights or tagged elements, both of which are currently carried through, and the user could then apply the appropriate styling with css or other transformation mechanisms.

Generally, you get stylistic tagging by using \definehighlight.
I replaced \em and \bf by \emph{} and \strong{} in my projects.

Didn’t try real bibliographies or xml input yet, but I guess you can change the setup to use those.

Seconded. Same with other references like footnotes. (I need to try the current state, my last ePub was somewhen last year, and there the locations of footnotes were messed up.)
