I don't think Raman ever claimed to be able to process arbitrary LaTeX;
yes, i talked to him about it in 1995

really? you do surprise me. but thats for legacy purposes, or ongoing

probably because i am at a distance

but i just dont see what you imagine will happen for author X. do they
continue to author in LaTeX(3)? do they write SGML with embedded
constrained TeX for maths? how do you see X working in 3 years?
will she really _see_ TeX code?
