Re: display="block" question

It has been our experience that centered-math should rather be a 
paragraph style.
This responds to the requirement of having formulae that are semantic 
(and thus wouldn't bear a spurious period) and to have several formulae 
in one line.

When going to XHTML+MathML, this i pretty easy to map out... just center 
take care of putting the displaystyle in every math element.

depth one compound-documents!)
