I can't come up with practical examples right now but while working on an 
emacs/elisp/eintro css I always found that losing info in the conversion was 
keeping css from exploring interesting visual venues.

Maybe the 'slanted' class is not really required (sorry for the typo there), 
because there is not much semantic difference between "i" and "slanted". But 
conversely, I don't see how removing semantic information in the transfer from 
texinfo to HTML can help the reader.
