On the other hand, we will loose the ability to inline small parts of
math, that should be typeset as separate equation, like:

    ...text \[ 1+2=3 \] more text...

I'm quite undecided in this regard. Personally, in almost all cases I
try to let my equations stand out even in the source (Org or LaTeX),
so I mostly use the "\begin{equation*}...\end{equation*}" variant.

At least, Nicolas convinced me, that comparing to LaTeX does not help
much (how LaTeX treats \[...\] is independent from how we want to
structure Org documents).

BTW: In LaTeX, I like to make equations stand out even further like
this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Some text
%
\begin{equation*}
...
\end{equation*}
%
more text
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is there a simple way to achieve this in Org (without using ugly
solutions like "@@latex:%@@" - something concise, at most 2-3 chars,
better only 1, but still visible in order to distinguish between
compound block belonging to a single paragraph and separate
paragraphs)?
