In BabelPad, I can select a string of text and convert it to math 
italics.  If upper case italics is desired, it would be necessary to 
select the text, convert it back to ASCII, convert it to upper case, and 
convert that upper case to math italics.  Casing the math alphanumerics 
doesn’t seem to present any problem.  Any program could make those 
interim steps invisible to the end user.

(With VS14, BabelTags mark-up, or new control character(s)—casing isn’t 
even an issue.)
