If we allow \[...\] constructs to be an element, they cannot be
recognized as such within paragraphs. So

  Some text \[1+1\] and some other text

will not be recognized anymore, even though any latex editing mode
supports it. Again, I think it's not worth loosing it.

Also, using \begin{...}...\end{...} environments is not really an issue
with editing facilities in Emacs (e.g., yasnippets).
