Is the issue also how to encode mathematical expressions, rather
than just the individual characters? These often appear in titles and
abstracts, and are sometimes rendered in latex, mathml or simple ASCII.
I don't know of guidance from HEFCE about how these are to be
expressed - the LongTitle element in the HEFCE XML schema is declared
to be a sequence of any XHTML elements, so you can at least use <sup>
and <sub> for simple names in the sciences.
I will ask my colleagues on the IRRA project to see if any further
advice (or at least best practice) is forthcoming.
