Although it really isn't so clear in a unicode setting that saying U+03B1 is traditionally mapped as \alpha really helps. U+03B1 is (as you know) textual Greek, and mapping it to \alpha with the traditional definition of \alpha will just lead to tex errors. Perhaps I can document that if the character element has mode="math" then the <latex> mapping is only assumed to work in math mode. But in anycase the errors you reported initially were just errors I think not relying on such details, I'll try to get that done..... David
