Since HTML5 supports MathML natively now, it seems that MathML is the solution to use [for vulgar fractions].
There does not seem to be any real support for vulgar fractions in MathML (neither as specified nor as currently implemented). I agree that adding such support to MathML might make more sense than adding another way of encoding fractions to HTML proper, though, — *if* mark- up is needed — despite limited use of vulgar fractions in mathematics.

Actually, it seems to me that the best solution is for browsers to support the unicode fraction slash [U+2044], unless that has too bad performance problems. Øistein: Have you talked to any browser vendor to see if there's a reason they don't support this yet? At least firefox supports ligatures these days which is somewhat similar.
I have not approached any browser makers yet, and I am not aware of any good reason for not supporting the fraction slash. Now, you are obviously aware of the issue and presumably in a situation to follow it up. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make it more likely for this feature to be considered for addition to Firefox (apart from actually implementing it myself).
