To be honest; I really don't know. Part of me wants to believe it's because of a desire for widespread device support, but then I simply can't think of a device/app that would display an <i> tag incorrectly, but I could be wrong. There's some weird, wacky device/app quirks out there that I have the luxury of not having to worry about accounting for. Others may have better answers for you.
