The solution is simple : I need nothing else baseline alignment. I never used a vertical alignment for my equation ! So this alignment will replace the current vertical alignment. And if someone needs another alignment, it's possible to manually change vertical position with Alt-Arrow keys as now ! LaTeX (and even Word) has this default position and I never changed it. cdeval also wrote: > 2) Currently, I you change text attribute (font, size, color, ...) of a > paragraph which includes a formula, this one doesn't change because these > parameters are independant of text.

That's why Damths and CmathOOo have macros to do that. If you want OOo to change attributes of formula when font, size, color, etc... change, it would be great. But for the alignment, if the baseline becomes the default : no need to add change, only refresh position (and size, font, ...) if document changes. It would be a nice new feature !
