Eric, 

The equations you link to are so simple 
that linearizing them is no problem.

However, there are equations somewhat harder to linearize
that x = x0 + vt + 1/2 a t^2.

As I have said before, a few years back I was attempting to write an ID
on 
packet loss concealment for TDMoIP.  

After trying a few integral signs and matrices I gave up (and the work
was never disclosed to the WG).

We put a much simpler equation into the text of the ID,
but even is unwieldly in linearized form.

Yes, I guess it is always POSSIBLE to write every equation and diagram, 
e.g. by telling the user to spread out the next 25 pages as a 5 by 5
rectangle 
and then to stand on a ladder to view the result, but I don't see the
point in so doing. 

At some point "impractical" becomes "impossible for all intents and
purposes",
and "ugly" becomes "meaningless".
