Clearly, string formatting (mostly in titles) is necessary and is getting
implemented whether CSL specifies it or not. IMO HTML (or XML, which would
probably be more work for everyone) is the most elegant and broadly
supported approach.
If CSL really wants to remain format-agnostic in this regard, then it could
just specify that substrings can be marked (with possible nesting) for
various formatting (italics, superscript, forced title-casing, etc.) and
leave the language of the formatting up to the citeproc developers. CSL can
then go on to specify how such substrings are handled when producing
citations.
