I know Victor won't agree, but personally I find <http:// 
www.unicode.org/notes/tn28/UTN28-PlainTextMath.pdf>  encouraging --  
both regarding content, and as an indication of what Word 2007 can  
produce. (It was mentioned earlier here starting from <http://tug.org/ 
pipermail/macostex-archives/2006-September/024217.html>.)

Please don't misinterpret me: I'm no MS lobbyist, I continue to use  
TeX and when I use WYSIWYG software I favour Pages and Keynote over  
Word and PowerPoint. But I think it's important to keep an eye of  
what's happening outside, and try to avoid prejudgements.
