somebody (Chip?) tell me how to change the colors to something more
readable?
'Conceal' is the group name, so:

" clear the grey
:hi clear Conceal

" set something manually:
:hi Conceal (settings)

" or link to something:
:hi link Conceal Constant

Thanks Ben, now it is much better.  I couldn't find any mention of
this in the help.

Now that everything highlights properly I've found a problem, not sure
if it is a bug or not so I'll ask here first to see if anybody knows
whats going on.  The following line

$a^2$

is concealed properly (the "^2" is drawn as superscript 2).  However

$\alpha^2$

isn't -- it is drawn as "greek letter alpha" (the "^2" disappears!).

Does anybody know if this is a problem with the +conceal feature or
with the TeX syntax file?
I'd guess this is a limitation of the conceal mode -- somewhat disconcerting when used for this purpose. The ability to show utf-8 extended characters is new to conceal, by the way -- my vim 7.2 patched with VN's conceal patch didn't have that capability.
