<em> has never been defined in a way that it could give entire paragraphs
emphasis. I'm not really saying anything is wrong about it, just that 
has never
been defined. Also, <em> was defined to be inline-level (nothing to do with
presentation) in HTML4 which means that it could not contain block-level
(again, apart from presentation) elements so parsers did funny things on error
recovery.
