Yes, obviously anyone can do that -- and in fact I did.  The problem is that the
default installation should handle the "therefore" symbol.  You are restricting
a large portion of users from continuing to use OO.o Math if this is not enabled
by default.  I am taking a Discrete Math course right now.  Here is a
conversation between two students in the class.

Student 1: "OO.o 2.0 is so cool!"
Student 2: "Yea, I know, it rules dude.  You can type anything and it converts
to the symbols automagically."
Student 1: "Wait...why doesn't it convert the therefore symbol?"
Student 2: "I don't know, it should."
Student 1: "Yeah, it should, but it doesn't look."
Student 2: "Hrmmm..."
Student 1: "This program sucks.  I use therefore in all my proofs."

This is not hypothetical.  This really occurred.  You have to realize that
computer programs are supposed to make tasks easier.  If someone has to then
know how to go out and define their own symbols, you turn away a large portion
of your potential users.  Please add this symbol to the default install so that
it works correctly.  I would do it myself, but I am not a developer on OO.o nor
have I downloaded the source yet.  I could submit a patch later, but will it be
accepted for a change like this?  You seem to think not, but why?  I'm not the
only one frustrated by this.  I saw a bug in 00.0 1.0 that still has not been
fixed...
