I entirely agree.  I went along with the ``common environment'' argument
originally because an environment that is familiar to most people will have a
distinct edge in effective readability.  Unfortunately, the discussion seems
to be going towards laser printing articles and other rare events (:-)

I'm unfamiliar with Mathematica (did I get that name right from memory?) and
so far nobody has shown any, but between eqn and LaTeX, I don't think there's
much difference in readability -- at least, I'd be perfectly happy with
either.  (BTW you read my LaTeX right, assuming I read your eqn right :-).

I don't think straight ASCII is the answer, it quickly gets *less* legible
than an eqn or LaTeX or Mathematica-type notation.

There wouldn't be any public domain eqn -> LaTeX and/or vv converter, would
there now?  That way we could keep the followers of both religions happy...
