They also use <i> tag for icons.

    <div class="ui icon buttons">
      <button class="ui button"><i class="bold icon"></i></button>
      <button class="ui button"><i class="underline icon"></i></button>
      <button class="ui button"><i class="text width icon"></i></button>
    </div>

Is this so bad? It seems to me that using <i> for icons has become pretty standard across many sites and you shouldn't be using the <i> tag for italics anyways - there's <em> for that now.

Using <i> for icons is a bad idea. Wait, no, it's the wrong thing to do. The <i> element still has meaning and can be used for that purpose, of which has absolutely nothing to do with icons.

So <i> for icons and <b> for buttons then?

Don't forget <u> for URL's.
