this is true, but in my opinion irrelevant for the = discussion at hand. what
you are pointing out is how a document should be = logically tagged but we are
talking about a different layer of a document.

your opinion is that natural language doesn't contain = digits; those who have

variable belonging to a formula, even if the formula = is just consisting of
this variable, it might alternatively be the letter a = or indeed the word
a. Why do you accept the latter but claim that this = can't be true for digits?
