Another example is math formatted as a displayed block
(<(informal)equation>). In most cases such math is logically part of the
enclosing paragraph. LaTeX is sensitive to this distinction, and docbook
-> LaTeX -> PDF is a popular processing path. Losing the ability to
enclose displayed math within a paragraph would lead to visibly-wrong
typesetting.
