Plain text should be really "plain", however I also have one example of plain 
text subs with html tags - they are in matroska container. Maybe we could 
reuse srt_to_ass from ffmpeg to convert these tags to ASS format. Is it 
possible to call srt_to_ass function from ffmpeg public API?

I believe support for <i> and other HTML tags is there - just look at line 
151: 
http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/srtdec.c;h=aa73f4c7bf45a74f6dd7ec0789bfe12fea756237;hb=HEAD#l151
I can confirm that it is working and subtitles are displayed in italics. So 
maybe Robert is using plaintext subtitles or has some old version of ffmpeg.
