I suggest keeping math in LaTeX format (inside a<inset type=formula>
tag). (This can be changed later, if there is public request and
manpower, but math is a clear favourite for an incremental approach.)
For now, yes, I think it is best to leave math as is.
Independent of this:
We could consider using Unicode characters for LaTeX macros which are
supported by our 'unicodesymbols' file, e.g. β for \beta and ∫ for \int.
Here again, unless we're proposing to write \beta as β and then read β
as \beta, I think you will see problems similar to those we were
discussing with "---". LaTeX understands these sorts of macros not just
as characters but as demanding certain sorts of spacing.
