except that I question what this is all for. we have (in my view), five
things kicking around
1 TeX the typesetting engine
2 TeX the typesetting markup language
3 TeX the archival-files-which-must-format-identically
4 (La)TeX the style design language
5 LaTeX the authoring language
which is the important bit? which is the "unique public de facto
archival and communication language", exactly?
