Consistent use of <i> vs. <span> for Font Awesome

"We like the <i> tag for brevity and for the fact that most folks are using <em></em> for emphasized/italicized semantic text these days. If that’s not your cup of tea, using a <span> is more semantically correct." -- https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/referencing-icons/basic-use
