Well, I was thinking about putting "*" between all normal math characters--
and not putting it between characters, which are in math-text mode.
That is, consecutive italic letters would be considered to be all different
symbols, non-italic letters (as in M-m m in math mode) would constitute a
single symbol. This should be mostly correct for small pieces of math, and
it should be quite intuitive, especially when *the user is told about it*.

Of course it (the conversion script) wouldn't understand all LaTeX math,
and that isn't the (my) intention either.
