this morning i added that info to the main table, but i'm still
pondering about how to use if properly ... in tex normally there are
explicit mode switches (in the source of the document) which gives
ultimate control; there's also the issue of these pardir etc changes
that then need to be injected into the node list;
anyhow, i'll look into it, but whatever solution i come up with, it has
to be under user control; i don't want hard coded automatisms that then
are hard to bypass (especially implicid properties can result in messy
situations, unicode math is a candidate for that)
