The example highlight the difference that I suggested to remove in the
very first place (by making \[...\] an environment). This was rejected
to preserve backward compatibility and that's fine. So I moved on to a
second proposal: modify the paragraph filling function.
Didn't the following comment in your previous reply refer to the
second proposal?

From your sentence in your last reply:
"... even though M-q cannot tell that difference (with your proposal,
the behaviour would be the same in both cases)."
I understand that there is no technical deficiency in it. Am I
therefore correct in saying that if you prefer not to include this
proposal in org-mode it isn't for technical reasons but it is a matter
of opinion/taste?
I would like to know, because in any case I would like to use the
proposed filling function in my copy of org-mode and if you see
technical problems/errors I very much would like to be aware of them
and, if possible, avoid/correct them.
Regards,
Federico
