Oblique and italic are presentation markup.  The ability to
differentiate between those two typefaces depends upon the
presentation markup language used, and the display engine used by the
program.

For example, both HTML and RTF have markup code for italic, but not
for oblique. (The way to get oblique text using those presentation
markup languages, is to specify a font that is available only in
oblique.)

OSIS is is about structural markup, not presentation markup.
