You're totally correct -- Latex is ambiguous. I don't find your observation discouraging since it is perfectly reasonable. The issue I'm interested in tackling is the conversion of math presented in Physics papers (e.g., .tex files on arxiv.org) to a semantically meaningful and unambiguous representation (e.g., Sympy). This issue would be moot if Physics papers were written in Sympy. I don't have insight on how to construct incentives that would lead to use of Sympy in Physics papers, so I'm working on the Latex-to-Sympy approach.
