The problem is that StarMath was a home-brew approach based roughly on what was
done for the TeX math expressions.

I don't know about consistency of MathML.

Coming back to how one handles such things as 2ab and coverb, there is an
ambiguity when spaces needed to set of keywords are ignored and other cases
where it looks like an intended space (as in "2 ab" versus "2ab").

My question:  Does the AOO math editor allow techniques such as {2}{a}{b} and
{c}over{b} as a way of making the separation of terms explicit and clear.  Note
that this is also important in distinguishing between {ab} and {a}{b} even
though the results might be typographically indistinguishable.

(The trick here is that {...} are used for syntactical grouping and do not
introduce visible bracketings.)  I would think this is necessary, in legible
Math notation to have, for example, {a+b} over {factorial {n}} work (whatever
the correct keywords are).
