in some fields.
Maybe this isn't a problem, when the maths is suitably
delimited. But if the idea in future is to have a single font
for both text and math, then there may need to be different
mappings according to whether in math or not.

Are you sure it is related to the T1 encoding ?
The only mention of << and >> shorthands within the LaTeX Companion
is in connection with Babel, for Spanish and French.
This is not due to the font-encoding.
