Consider, for example, something like this: a book on film with a header: "Fellini's Roma and 8 1/2". I'm used to setting something like this in this way: Fellini's \it{Roma} and \it{\cvfrac{8}{1}{2}} (where \cvfrac{}{}{} is a macro that gives me a compound vulgar fraction). The header is itself in smallcaps, so what comes out is: Fellini's<small caps> Roma<italic small caps> and<small caps> 8<italic proportional lining> (italic and lining (i.e., uppercase) because it's a title) 1/2<italic numerator><italic><italic denominator> all with minimal effort on the part of the writer. It seems natural that way.
