FYI, an excerpt of a conversation with David Carlisle; an expert in XML and XSLT (and unicode, actually), as well as a person with a math background (he's been involved with MathML):
For many titles, even mathematical titles, unicode plain text is
sufficient, you have greek and all the operators. mathematicians have a
long history of having to get their article titles into search engines
and printed book catalogues that don't have mathematical capability so
it is exceptionally rare to require really fancy 2 dimensional formating
in a title. The main problem is not titles, it's abstracts or other
paragraph sized texts that your biblio format might allow, there you
really do need full mathematical layout possibilities so mathml is your
friend.
Am trying to figure out what we really need in MODS to support this stuff.
