Comment:

 What is the service or tool that's flagging the use of strong and em as an
 error? In my opinion, while there are absolutely cases where `<i>` is more
 appropriate than `<em>`, it's not a simple "em is always wrong" decision.

 If you absolutely must have this fixed for your auditors, I'd recommend
 using a filter on `the_content` that just replaces those elements - but I
 can't see this change as a benefit for most users.
