Valid point. However, <i/> and <i></i> (ditto for any other inline element without content or attributes, such as B and SPAN) are not supposed to have any effect on the layout. The only situation I can think of where they would also applies to <span>X</span>, where there's a CSS rule involving them. For instance:

span { font-style: italic; }
i + span { text-decoration: underline; }

...are both completely legal. Kind of silly in how they obfuscate their effect on the code, but legal.
