Don't panic! I'm simply planning to provide a package option for a Syriac package I'm writing to allow users to turn \emph into an alias for \aemph within RTL environments. Slanted text is not traditional in Syriac, but has been used more recently. It looks quite ugly. I imagine that proper khabideh in fonts involves special shapes that are more than the addition of slant.
