I'd reluctantly come to this conclusion.  With the timeline dictated
by the book contract, we can't afford to experiment.  A pity, too, as

Thank you for your advice.  This is what we will do.  And when math
support in the various SGML tools is more mature, I'll probably be
back to bug the list about that conversion step. :-)
