--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Sorry, abusing the Formula editor by running the Math module as an OLE tool has
been a common source of formatting annoyances.

Folks would have much better results if they were to compose their formulas in
the Math module and then link or insert the the ODF Formula from file.

And with the Math modules new ability to consume MathML, it would make more
sense to deemphasize OLE formula composition in favor of workflows using the
Formula editor outside of the document composition.

The UI positioning Formula were it is under Insert -> Object -> Formula (or
alternatively the OLE Object dialog) is the correct functional emphasis.  Sure
you can insert an OLE Formula and trigger the Math module, but why?  Using OLE
ODF Formula from file is much more reliable and gives you more control over
composition and then placement into your document.

I'd say NO emphatically.
