in defence of \sl:
working with a designer at oup, we decided
to use \sl instead of \it as a `more modern'
font. i tend to feel that \sl looks better
at lower resolution than \it. the rather = cursive
nature of italic does present problems.
in general i would prefer to use the
italic font only in maths, partly as an aid
to legibility and differentiation. the small
differences between \it and \mit are rather
subtle (almost subliminal).
