There are at least two issues I see.
First, the layout of a pedagogical presentation such as, for
example, the division algorithm for positive integers,
varies somewhat from locale to locale.
Second, there is the question of whether one wants "dynamic
interpretation", i.e., use of an engine for working out the
displayed content -- along the lines of David Carlisle's
\longdiv{}{} previously mentioned in this thread. If not,
then one would be asking for commands to assist with
rendering the computational steps when the author supplies
the data. The latter method poses a risk that the entered
data may not be entirely consistent.
