Thank you for your careful reading.

I think the above might be a good solution -- that the presentation  
layer should simply assume that the text may contain HTML tags. But I  
do not see how this will mess up the plain text. Isn't plain text  
also valid HTML?

I also agree that the scheme could be elaborated by <Description  
type="LaTeX"> for example. But perhaps we can leave this to a future  
evolution of the schema if/when somebody wants it?
