"Elsevier publishes 250,000 articles a year in 2,000 journals" and "In 2003 its publishing accounted for 25% of the world market in science, technology, and medical publishing". That's a huge influence.See here too.

I am not disputing that. But different subject areas, have different conventions and Elsevier follows that to some extent. E.g. the journal Differential Geometry and its Applications does not force upright i's on authors as that is not the convention in pure mathematics (see e.g. vol 26(5) page 563 near the top).

ISO 80000-2:2009, Quantities and units---part2: Mathematical signs and symbols to be used in the natural sciences and technology would agree with Elsevier in this matter.
