So after all, you do agree that a whitelist is the
right solution ?
In combing through the packages, it should be possible to create
both a blacklist ''and'' a whitelist, to satisfy both philosophies.
But there are some LaTeX commands that define new commands,
such as \DeclareMathSymbol , that should be safe to allow.
Then a blacklist approach will be more flexible (but not more powerful)
than a whitelist approach, since it allows one define abbreviations.
And if you make such a whitelist for math, I can just
add it to texvc.
Since Peter has posted the templates, I will start on this when I can,
and post the results here, so you and he can both use them as you like.
(But I probably will not be able to do this until the holidays are over!)
