One caution you should give to your authors -- the more esoteric the symbol they use, the less likely other software will support it. Currently, I don't think either MathPlayer or Mozilla or Mathematica have italic double-struck characters. Apparently, the STIX group didn't find much use of them, otherwise they would have been in their proposal to the Unicode Technical Committee.
