Actually I'm a nonconformist myself so I quail from the thought I might have
pressured anybody.  The work I was thinking of is each of us individually
translating to our preferred word processors, and of equations with more
doodads than the one you showed -- PDE's of higher orders, matrices,
differential geometry operators, etc.  Since I use LaTeX, naturally I find the
notation pretty intuitive, and it fits tidily on a couple of pages of the
LaTeX manual (if you'll grant that \gamma is pretty obvious -- though come to
think of it we'd need to say we meant Greek gamma and not the gamma function).
Perhaps we should simply poll ourselves on our present uses and pick one or
two of them (preferably easily converted) as media for exchange.
