Quite true _but_, equally:
Omega (and, I hypothesise, any TeX-derived automated typesetting
system) needs something `on top' that is functionally similar to LaTeX.
The larger group of omega developers needs this LaTeX-layer yesterday
and, as I undertand it, that is a major reason why these issues are
being raised here and now. They cannot delay so as to get it right.

I assume that the irony here is the implication that this set of
people may be nonempty?
