And otherwise the XHMTL compliant <em> should be used.

I doubt there's 1/16 in Unicode.

You forgot MathML (for the "1/16"). :-)
A possible hack would be <sup>1</sup>/<sub>16</sub>, but on it's own it
doesn't really look that good. Maybe, if it's surrounded by text (that
is, if that's actually the case in HH)? Anyway, this should be put in
some XSLT magic so that we can create a real fraction in the LaTeX
version.
