Then presumably, you are either comfortable with LaTeX or else are capable of asking your publisher to respect your wishes. For writers who are not familiar with publishing tools, I would humbly submit that a markdown language that formats deterministically for publication would be superior to wrangling with MS-Word.

Well, I can get LaTeX (or more precisely, LyX) to do what I want, so that on the PDF, the equation is exactly what I want it to be. I don't know if I'm "comfortable" with it (though Lyx is far easier to use than LaTeX). But I think I have no choice. [Edit: I have no choice because the publisher doesn't understand my paper, and doesn't understand the equations in it. The publisher may make a change without even realizing it, and the change may really matter. It's my paper, and it's my responsibility that the equations are right.] Second best would be "asking your publisher to respect your wishes" in the form of looking over galley proofs, to make sure that the equations came out right.
