Are there any plans to introduce content types for mathematical formulas
and tabels? Both are quite non-trivial, but with them, ODA won't have
a lot of chance in the scientific community. I don't know of any standard
text format that supports tabels and formulas and TeX is the only
de-facto standard used for this purpose at the moment by many scientists.
