I was just looking at the CSS, which specifies oblique as opposed to italic.

The CSS may ask for an oblique, but on my Mac, which ships with Gill Sans, I get an italic. Just to be pendantic. Obliques are slanted faces; italics are slanted faces with cursive letterforms.

Italics are not necessarily slanted. Seria's italic is an example of one that's very cursive but within a couple degrees of upright:
