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.

PS: I tend to be an non-friend of mtext... (and this saves the trip of
depth one compound-documents!)
