It would be most awesome if TeXmacs had the ability to work with a
drawing pad or touch-screen and stylus so that one could do math "by
hand" more like you do with a pencil and paper, rather than via a
keyboard.

It's not a new idea:

@TechReport{Minsky63:MathScopePartI,
  author       = {Marvin Minsky},
  title        = {MATHSCOPE Part I: A Proposal for a Mathematical 
Manipulation-Display System},
  institution  = {MIT},
  year         = 1963,
  month        = {Nov},
  url          = 
{ftp://publications.ai.mit.edu/ai-publications/pdf/AIM-061.pdf},
  note         = {MIT AIM-61},
  annote       = {This is a scanned copy of Prof. Marvin Minsky's MIT AI Memo 
61, typewritten in
                  1963. It is very difficult to make out much of it, due to 
poor quality
                  scanning. \citep*[See][]{Minsky03:MathsMitAi}  It discusses 
a very early computer
                  algebra system with a user interface that displayed math 
notation on an
                  oscilloscope, and allowed selection and limited 
manipulation of expressions using
                  a light pen.}
