In particular, in reviewing 9.5 PS4, both forms are used (see the start and Definition 9.4.7). Should we standardize this across all three texts?

For what it's worth, I remember an English professor of mine from college griping about word autocorrecting to the superscript form, which he hated. So I would recommend nth.

Standardization would be great once we have consensus (and add it to the Style Guide as well). I suspect nth plays better with screenreaders than $n^{th}$, so maybe we should opt for that.
