Hi Rolf,
I just found the old printed copy from 1998 deeply burried in my book
shelf.  I must correct myself, it's not about math typesetting in
general but about SI units.  It covers the upright/italic question
though.  Curiously, I don't see any copyright note.

However, since I know the title now, I had been able to consult
Google.  The 8th edition is available online already.

Paul, though section 4.4 (upright or italic) had been dropped I think
the information you need is still there.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
