I don't know about that. A good typesetting system (er, TeX) would want to typeset e in a math font, not a simple italic font. That markup loses the metadata that this isn't simply a letter 'e', but rather the transendental number e. Perhaps a role attribute could be added somewhere, so that you'd have <phrase role="whatever">e</phrase>? It loses the mathematical markup around e, but it sounds like you're not really putting an inlinequation into your prose in the first place. Just remember to update your stylesheets accordingly. :-) Z.
