This is getting really off topic, but I've used to think in the similar
vein: we noble physicists (mathematicians, what have you) don't have to
touch that word abomination. We do our precious work in pure and noble
latex. Well, d'oh! In Russia, you'd be hard pressed to find a journal on
physics accepting latex. But the West isn't much better on this account,
mind you. The world changed, or it never was like this. We talk major
journals, of course, not obscure universities' heralds.

Anyway, good interoperability in mixed environment is a must.
