italics

I saw a demo of the Views 3.0 module today at Berkeley Drupal Users Group (BDUG) today. The presenter noted that if a page that is part of a tabbed-pages view differs from the default of the view, the differing options are displayed in the Views UI as italics. I haven't seen the view source of the page, so it may well be empasis tags.

But the larger issue, is marking content with italics or emphasis to distinguish that it has a certain quality, e.g., not a default value, considered sufficient for accessibility, without some other indication that would be read out, e.g., an asterisk?
