If I may stick my oar in, I side with Andre on this one. The kind of
user who is likely to break validate is the user who knows why and go
into the document dialog and deselect "Use AMS Math". "Suppress AMS
Math" just seems very weird to me.

And if it reduces code complexity, why on earth not ? How strange that
it is Andre arguing against "theoretical correctness" this time !
