Still, there are cases, where also an accent might

This is because \dot is an accent and not a macro. That's probably the
reason why ams provides \Dot.

Thank you very much for your help Herbert.
But I would like to know if there exists a bug with \dot in math mode,
because, yes, I can define other commands to solve the problem, i.e. I

If I type Alt-m d \dot space \mean{x
the tex output is:
\[
\dot{\mean }{x}\]
which both of them are completely wrong, because I would like to obtain
\[
\dot{\mean{x}}\]
I guess that there is a problem with \dot in math mode, but maybe I have
missed something important. What am I
