Nicolas mentioned that meaning of \[ \] might be changed and that will 
allow among other things correctly working of paragraph filling. I like 
such idea.

There is \( \) object for inline math. Is there use cases for 2 
(actually 2 groups of 2 elements counting $...$ and $$...$$) variants 
for inline math when primary backend for them behaves differently?

Is it really breaking? I can not estimate required amount of work to 
implement it. However at the user side at first glance most of files 
should remain valid and I could not imagine markup that will be broken 
during export to LaTeX.

For example, because document without equations may become almost 
useless in the case of export to HTML or ODT file.
