Who is entitled to vote? If I am then here is my vote in favor for the following reasons:
1. the construct \[...\] has been defined in LaTeX for equations which must stand out and therefore belong on separate lines. It would therefore make sense to conform to the borrowed syntax. 2. the alternative displaymath environment could in principle be used instead of \[...\]. However, this is not very nice because when exporting to a text file the former is very invasive, while latter is not. 3. Right now the \[...\] construct when exported to LaTeX produces equations on dedicated lines. While the same construct when exported to a text file results in an inline equation. This is inconsistent and would be corrected by the change. 4. There are 2 other constructs dedicated to inline equations: \(...\) and $...$. 5. Existing documents are very easy to fix. 6. Exporting to html can be adapted to produces any desired result and should therefore not be a concern. Regards, Federico
