This is one of thse Dangerous Areas of SGML that is not widely supported,
and has, as we have seen, some unintuitive aspects.

and I concur. We have enough problems teaching users about simple
SGML markup. Perhaps a conversion utility would answer Dave R's
desire to have a simple (wrt to keystrokes) input format while
allowing those who use math only rarely to maintain a simple
(wrt to tag construction) view of HTML markup.
