While I can’t find the reference, I’m sure there is already a requirement somewhere along

This sentence is literally about diagrams, but I’m not sure that this desirable
transfers to math.
(If you need an example:
Take the last unnumbered math block in Section 4.2 (the one after Figure 2) as
an example.
I don’t think the target setting is explained in English text in this RFC, and
I’m pretty sure it shouldn't.)
I understand that algebraic notation was invented in about 830 CE exactly because al-jabr
can't be expressed correctly in natural language. So IMHO Carsten is correct. We're not
talking about trivial equations that could be expressed like "energy equals mass
times the square of the speed of light."
