@Johannes_B The differences aren't too surprising; all three engines themselves are different. However, there could be areas to be fixed up — I've made a note of it it (github.com/wspr/unicode-math/issues/290)
@Manuel I haven't looked in a long time. Last I checked, ConTeXt didn't try to do anything fancy and provided a sensible interface to the various unicode maths alphabets. But ConTeXt never had the \mathit/\textit confusion as far as I know :)
@barbarabeeton Actually examples such as \newcommand{\mbZ}{\mathbf{Z}} would be fine! The idea would be to have \mathbf interrogate its own argument, so it's fine to have it nested inside another macro. Things that would be harder would be \mathbf{\dot x}—I'm sure we'd see that sort of thing in the wild too! So my hypothetical code would have to deduce that this should still be a "symbol".
The first thing is to know that there are spacing parameters and spacing commands; \parskip and \parindent belong to the former category, \enskip, \quad and \smallskip to the latter.
A complete list of the spacing parameters would be quite long, so let's concentrate on spacing commands.

For text fonts there are 7 parameters
1 slant per pt (used for italic correction)
2 interword space (standard width of the space )
3 interword stretch (amount the space can stretch)
4 interword shrink (amount the space can shrink)
5 x-height (the value for the ex unit)
6 quad-width (The...
We had a question once with user defined commands, \hmwkClass and such. The question was closed as unclear after a few months, due nobody knew where those commands are coming from and the OP didn't give any useful clue. Found them: latextemplates.com/template/…
@Johannes_B, for instance in researchgate.net, LinkedIn.com or other social media you can connect with a mentor who will teach you one or few things when you have some challenges by sending message and or question to their box directly. Do we have such here (stach exchange / TeX)? — Gideon Ebelebe2 mins ago
Is there any private message system? I found an answer that I do not agree with, but some stupid moderator closed it, making it true by definition, so no one can argue with it. I want to contact an author of that question.
How?
@PauloCereda actually that's not really fair, the word math typesetting isn't bad, but the linear input format isn't latex it just allows some \ in some places so if you drop latex into it you will get something horrible... (Murray had some plans to have a latex input filter but I don't think it ever got added)
@WillRobertson, @DavidCarlisle As suggested, I might drop a line to the TUG2015 organisers about a room, but I think first I'll see if Frank has anything to add at this stage
@JosephWright @WillRobertson @DavidCarlisle While we’re at it, I’d like to have an informal discussion / BOFH session about language support at TUG’15 - obviously in my capacity as Polyglossia and XeTeX maintainer, but also more generally. There are a few issues where I suspect I will need support in the LaTeX core, and I’d like to hear the LaTeX team’s opinion.

I recently posted about trying to print enumerated text in margin that was justified and would page-break (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/252066/justification-both-right-and-left-and-page-break-for-margin-enumeration).
I have posted on other sites as well, and it did not seem doable for ...
@DavidCarlisle I didn't arrive at expanding \Huge, the error was apparent before that. :)
@ChristianHupfer I'm really sorry, but that redefinition of \title is not recommendable. Of course, it's easy for a single article with no particular requirements. But if a package wants to use \@title for setting metacomments…
@yo' All right, thank you. I've been off the computer for a few months working on my new novel. (I can't write fiction on the computer, except as minor edits.) It took me a while to type it up when I'd finished. It's current around 111,000 words!
The answer is a qualified 'no', not because of macro limitations (which could be addressed) but because even with newer engines the maximum \insert number remains at 255, at least for pdfTeX and XeTeX. Thus if you try
\insert256{}
with one of these engines you will get the error

@DavidCarlisle Doesn't really help, though, does it? Only applies to LuaTeX so still need an e-TeX solution, and for LuaTeX you can just skip the entire standard pool (as the luatex package does)
@JosephWright I know, but the luatex manual should be fixed anyway, but if that's the case i think I definitely prefer the method of making \newinsert use the same pool as \extrafloats as then you just need to check its less than 256 for etex, and on luatex it allows any number of inserts, kind of odd to move normal boxes up to 256 and then restrict \insert to below that if it can use the full range anyway (especially if xetex does the same)
