Katakana can be used for emphasis much like italics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana#Usage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana#Usage

  That's true, but it would feel very weird to use katakana as a way of denoting hierarchy. You can bold, color, and shadow Japanese text just fine though, so I don't really see the author's point.

    The bigger issue I think is limited font choices.

      Look at Western design/font choices - Helvetica. Helvetica everywhere.
