You don't. <i> and <b> should not be used.

You are worried about a couple of bytes?

No one will ever notice that amount of data. The smallest iPhone holds 8 
BILLION characters. That is, if you printed it out at an average of 1000 
characters per page (maybe a little light, but the math is easy) it's a MILLION 
pages of text. A case of paper contains 5,000 sheets of paper. So you are 
talking about 200 cases of paper (2,000 reams). Of course, the largest iPads 
hold 8 times that.

Just how much HTML code are you writing?
