So, to summarize, we have several functions of the module:

(1) fonts
(2) amslatex compatible commands
(3) breaking math

Taco and I will handle (1) also because it is related to the new math 
symbol collections and mathml.

If you can strip out all (2) and (3) specific thinsg (watch out: things 
like smashing are context core functionality) we can incrementaly replace 
m-math.

I will clean up (2) code anyway (at least check it for things that can go 
into math-ext instead of a module.)

Btw, spacing issues (like classes of display math) are core functionality 
already but i may need to extend it., so there will be left overs "to do".

Hans

PS. Maybe entering math in mathml syntax makes more sense; at least it is a 
better way to control consistency.
