Italic words are only specified to be the terms or syntactic categories. What about other kind of usage, i.e. to emphasize?

For example, in [associative.reqmts]/4:

The phrase “equivalence of keys” means the equivalence relation imposed by the comparison and not the operator== on keys.

Here the word "not" is italicized. Is this intended?

BTW, for this particular half of the sentence, is it better to be a note or a footnote? Note that the operator== can mean equivalence relation on keys occasionally.

I believe there is very little room in the C++ standard document for emphasis of words such as "not".

Regarding the normative status of that half-sentence: We could change that to a note, right.

[ Note: This is not necessarily the same as the result of the operator== on keys. ]
