We would actually like to be able to use all the text formating options, bold, italic, underlining, super and subscripts, as well as formulas.
I'd like to just add something an aside that I'll continue to harp on to the OOo community:
We need to stop trying to recreate bad ideas from 20 years ago, and really exploit the power of XML and semantic markup.
To wit, bold and italic and superscripts ought to be deprecated across the board in OOo, and character (and paragraph) styles much more strongly promoted.
The practical issue for bibliographies and titles is the difference between this:
<span class="title">Some <span class="title">Title Within a Title</span></span>
... and this:
Some <i>Title Within a Title</i>
The second is information poor and completely inflexible. When you generalize that approach to an entire GUI, you encourage users to create documents that are similarly limited.
