Tim,
I think this is a bug in 5.0; I get the same problem using emacs in nxml
mode, even though the 5.0 Definitive Guide says it should be ok.
I have a vague memory of this point coming up in the TC a while back.
Maybe someone with a better memory than mine can help clarify that
point.
That said, I'd probably use a different construct anyway:
<varname>_TYPE<replaceable>N</replaceable></varname>
Seems like it more accurately captures your intent, renders the same
way, and it might parse correctly for you (it does for me).
Hope that helps.

I thought it was allowed to have emphasis in varname. What am I doing
wrong?
