If you look at reasonable quality math text, then names such as "sin",
"cos" are almost invariably typeset upright and expressions like f(x) are
typeset in italics. Even simple WYSIWYG math processors seems to know the
difference.

Are you saying this is not done in the UK? :-)

Then with names such as "Hom" and "e", this is not normally not done, but
one could well start doing it, if one so want.
