While it's true that the possessive form of "it" doesn't require an 
apostrophe, that  seems awfully pedantic.  I mean, the possessive form of 
everything-else-that-I-can-think-of requires one.

Possessive pronouns rarely have their words ending with 
apostrophes...sometimes not even with s's.

One's proper grammar can almost always count on it.
