Maybe you are right and Tom was actually assuming \begin{equation*}, not 
#+begin_export latex. Since Tom and Timothy started discussion of LaTeX 
preview issues, it was better to clarify that #+begin_export is not a 
rescue here at all, it has different purpose.

Just as Timothy, I believe that \begin{equation*} is unnecessary verbose 
when \[ works *mostly* in a similar way. It shifts the border when it is 
easier to avoid Org for particular paper and to write LaTeX markup directly.

Another branch of this thread is refactoring of `org-fill-element', but 
in my opinion, if \[ \] remains an inline object, adding a special case 
for it is anyway increasing overall mess. It \[ \] were became 
block-level element, it would not be necessary.
