Perhaps better: "always" -> "often" ?
Ok. Concerning math ... in many aspects the functionality of mkii is available in mkiv, but the implementation is often completely different, which makes that we can go a step further in control. Years ago, when he was involved in scientific publishing, Taco made sure that mkii had most of the features needed to deal with advanced math (at that time via a module that implemented some ams constructs). Eventually that code was normalized, extended and integrated into the Later Aditya added support for ams-like code too. In mkiv nearly all had been or will be redone. Some of the accumulated implementation details are quite interesting (compared to the traditional approach) so I might wrap that up some day in a larger summary (chapter). I uploaded the latest hybrid.pdf to the website which has some explanations and I'll try to keep wrapping up in future chapters if About (and other documents). If you feel that something fundamental is missing, don't hesitate to mention it. (Many math sub-mechanisms are relatively independent so adding code has not much change of breaking existing code.)
