Or neither. Using math flow objects would require using a local set of
entity definitions so that  &agr; mapped to some element with content
being the unicode character for alpha, rather than just being a simple
character entity. Your stylesheet could then pick up this element and
use the math sequence flow object to render the character. As I said
before this is not ideal but it does in fact work on an oldish copy of
word running in windows95 without the multilingual extensions (I
checked:-)
