Hi Joris,

As for "such as using a mathematical primitive in text mode", I see that 
TeXmacs tolerates them (I myself made such mistakes before, but it is something that 
should be corrected). I am not sure whether it is a good idea to tolerate such errors 
in TeXmacs. It might be better that TeXmacs will warn the user about this kind of 
errors?

Best wishes,
Frank
