What I think Artha also wants to know why <i> instead of <em> and <b> instead of <strong>. Actually I am glad that it is this way. Let me explain. <i> and <b> are style settings. <em> and <strong> are giving structure. It could be that I will use italic for emphasis, but this is not a given. I should decide what I would use if text is emphasized or strong, not the renderer.
I know that <i> and I believe also <b> are deprecated, but I feel that was a mistake.
