In /The TeXbook/ Donald Knuth writes that the markup for display math mode allows "your manuscript to mirror what you are trying to accomplish." I write all my manuscripts in org-mode these days, in large part because the mark-up is lighter-weight than it is for LaTeX, but at present the preferred markup for display equations does *not* really allow one to make the manuscript mirror what one is trying to do. Enthusiastic thanks and support for this patch! -Ethan
