Typing x<sup>2</sup> is hard, and looks ugly in the markup. Let's borrow TeX markup and make x^{2} mean the same thing. (Brackets would be mandatory, however.) Examples: x^{3} --> x<sup>3</sup> (powers) CO_{2} --> CO<sub>2</sub> (carbon dioxide symbol) 1^{st} --> 1<sup>st</sup> (ordinals) ^{2}H_{2}O --> <sup>2</sup>H<sub>2</sub>O (isotopes) y^{x^{2}} --> y<sup>x<sup>2</sup></sup> (nested powers) I can't think of anything this would conflict with, can you?
