Hi Dan,
I'm with you on this. IMO, it would be good to generalize the Org-
mode link syntax so that it doesn't assume a link representation in
the Org-mode buffer and in HTML export. With the Org-mode stylesheet,
the OP could have small caps if wanted and you could have
[[latex:textsc][My small caps]].
All the best,
Tom
