Re: Last Call: 'Proposed Experiment: Normative Format in Additionto ASCII Text' to Experimental RFC (draft-ash-alt-formats)

As for traditional mathematical notation, I think resorting to it for
all but the simplest formulas, e.g. "y =(m * x) + b)", often
does a grave disservice to all readers who are not mathematicians.

"RFC authors MUST NOT use calculus or matrix algebra.  Addition and
subtraction MAY be expressed as formulas but authors SHOULD NOT
use formulations sufficiently complex to make a reader's head hurt."
