Subject: Bold and italic type for mathematics

Mathematicians commonly use bold and italic type to distinguish single-character terms. Eg

P(n) = {x = (x0, x1, …) | …

When typesetting in HTML it has seemed OK to me to use the otherwise deprecated <i> and <b> tags for this. 

Does DocBook have suitable elements?
