formatting mathematics

As an alternative "source of inspiration" in the area of formatting mathematics,
would it perhaps be interesting to have a (brief) look at Lout? Browsing
through my "archive" I found this paper

  Software Practice and Experience 23 (1993) 1001-1041

Sorry I've been quiet lately; I'm stil trying to catch up with the recent
discussions on this list.
