Regarding scholarly publishing in HTML, by far the most significant
contribution for the least amount of development is the implementation of
super and subscripts. While there does not seem to be a consensus
with respect to MATH (complexity of implementation, incremental
incorporation, etc.), there *did* (a couple months ago) seem to be a
consensus with respect to the inclusion of super and subscripts. I would
like to see this capability added to the 2.1 list.
