Subject: [question/patch] How detailed may org.texi be?

Hi,

I would like to push the following patch to org.texi on export
behavior of sub/superscripts and LaTeX delimiters.  To me it seems
relevant, but it's somewhat technical.  Is it relevant to include such
"implementation" details/choices in org.texi?
