The second to last example should probably better read:

or maybe, as the speed of light is a constant,

  <var>E</var> = <var>m</var> · c<sup>2</sup>.

Is that equation ever legitimately rendered (in physics textbooks etc) with the "m" in a different style from the "c"? If not, perhaps the definition of <var> needs to be expanded to include physical constants.
