You would first have to show that <I> and <B> are strictly 
presentational, but it appears that right from the beginning the 
meaning of these two elements has acquired a value in the content, 
meaning they aren't strictly presentation elements.

Deprecating them makes it hard to convert old documents into the 
newer standard since there isn't an adequated replacement logically 
for those two elements.
