The "i" is mandatory. Numbering it allows the TMX file to identify which end-tag belongs to which start tag.
So, if you have this:
The <b>cat <b>sat on the mat</b></b>.
the numbers would help the CAT tool know whether the first </b> tag is a closing tag for the first <b> tag or for the second <b> tag.
In my illustrative examples in my first post I omitted the "i" attribute, to make it simpler to type here in the forum, but in reality the "i" attribute is mandatory. That said, if you always make it "1", it won't break anything.
