For `<i>` refer to the [alternate voice or mood topic](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/alternate-voice-or-mood-i-tag-in-html5/1206).  
For `<cite>` refer to the [referencing creative works topic](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/referencing-creative-works-with-cite/892).

As far as I know there has been no other discussion regarding Markdown versions of `<b>` and `<dfn>` so far.
