I waited a while and unless I missed it, nobady seems to have mentioned my
PRIMARY reason for a wysiwyg system ;  TECHNICAL symbols (in my case
mathematical equations, but other special symbols are just as important).

What I would like is a system which allowed me some overall control of
the style (like SCRIBE does, or even like troff), but lets me SEE the 
FORMULA's (and maybe rough layout) as I type them. Anyone who has worked with
eqn or TeX knows how hard it is to get the equations correct.
