Alan, I think this was Rik Kabel's point: for some scenarios, you
cannot avoid to have some sort of context commands in your bibtex
file. For a while, I also used biblatex from time to time, so I tried
to have a bibtex file that would be as clean as possible and work with
both systems, but your example shows that this is not always possible.
Well, nothing that some well-written perl couldn't get rid of...
All best

Indeed, that was my point. Even without the mathematics components that
were cited, I cannot imagine how markup could be excluded from the
BibTeX file, and for that matter, from any other bibliographical
database I have seen, if we have to comply with arbitrary formatting
standards. The statement that one should not put any such formatting
into the file is perhaps aspirational, but not really useful.
If you code clean it's no problem as we can map commands (\btxcommand)
but most (large) bibtex databases we've seen so far are quite
inconsistent (not only in usage of commands, also in author names).
(And of course Thomas meant Lua and not Perl.)
