Based on this discussion I've opened 
https://github.com/alexisannerossi/id-mathinrfcs/pull/10

The main change, aside from dropping the word "crude", is to split the usage 
requirement in three:

1. Block equations need to use the math form always.
2. Inline equations in text can use the math form, but can also use a simpler 
representation where that makes more sense.
3. Equations in figures probably can't use the math form, so they either need 
to be purely illustrative or any math needs to appear elsewhere.

Does that sound reasonable?
