RE: \mathcal vs \mathscr

Hi David,

There aren't any plans now, but it's a possibility.  Can you remind me
if the two calligraphic LaTeX fonts just font variants?  I don't recall
there being widely-accepted semantic conventions for caligraphic symbols
along the lines of using fraktur for Lie algebras that distiguish
between the two font variants, but perhaps I just don't know the subject
areas where such conventions exist?
