Sure, the equation won't break up the appearance of the paragraph, but
the paragraph will break up the appearance of the page/document.  I
don't see this as being a big improvement.

I contrast this to products like Arbortext Publisher, which resize the
equation to fit into the current line spacing.  Much nicer.
