How to add an <em> to toplinks in Magento - magento

Question

Is there a way to edit the customer.xml file to add an tag to My account link from header?
I want something like this:
<ul class="links">
<li class="first">WISHLIST</li>
<li class="has-arrow">MY ACCOUNT <em class="sprite arrow-s type-1"></em></li>
<li class="last">LOGOUT</li>
</ul>
If it can't be done from customer.XML what file should I edit? Thanks.

Well, apparently you can't use in customer.xml something like <liParams> or <beforeText>. If you go in /base/default/template/page/template/links.phtml (the template file responsibile for rendering the links) you will see these lines:
<li<?php if($_link->getIsFirst()||$_link->getIsLast()): ?> class="<?php if($_link->getIsFirst()): ?>first<?php endif; ?><?php if($_link->getIsLast()): ?> last<?php endif; ?>"<?php endif; ?> <?php echo $_link->getLiParams() ?>>
<?php echo $_link->getBeforeText() ?>
<a href="<?php echo $_link->getUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $_link->getTitle() ?>" <?php echo $_link->getAParams() ?>>
<?php echo $_link->getLabel() ?>
</a>
<?php echo $_link->getAfterText() ?>
</li>
So before the closing tag </a> it's only the label. So in order to add the <em> I've modified the code using this:
<li<?php if($_link->getIsFirst()||$_link->getIsLast()): ?> class="<?php if($_link->getIsFirst()): ?>first<?php endif; ?><?php if($_link->getIsLast()): ?> last<?php endif; ?>"<?php endif; ?> <?php echo $_link->getLiParams() ?>>
<?php echo $_link->getBeforeText() ?>
<a href="<?php echo $_link->getUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $_link->getTitle() ?>" <?php echo $_link->getAParams() ?>>
<?php echo $_link->getLabel() ?>
<?php echo ($_link['label'] == 'My Account') ? '<em class="sprite arrow-s type-1"></em>' : '' ?>
</a>
<?php echo $_link->getAfterText() ?>
</li>
