May I say that the "LuaTeX" question has ruined my day? Only partly saved by Andrew's "rant"? I can't believe that "quality my a@@" has appeared on the site. Again from a member that doesn't know where politeness lives and thinks that trying for 20 minutes to get a work done is sufficient for thinking that everybody should understand what he wants. I often spend more than twenty minutes on an answer!
As I see you can link the keyword extension to one of your own python scripts that extends: [keyword.py](http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/KeywordPlan?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=keyword.py) to transfer it to svn formatting. I think maybe this is the easiest. However it seams to be incorporated: [newest branch of keyword](http://www.blacktrash.org/hg/hgkeyword/file/a0451f80f665/hgkw/keyword.py), see line 67. Try `{date|svnisodate}`.
@zeroth Thanks. One minor nit pick with your diagram: The direction of the B vector is not clear. It is perpendicular to the z axis, or the edge of the triangle. Still excellent work, need to see how easily I can use this to rotate my labels. Thanks again.
@PeterGrill yes, it was a trade-off from how the diagram looked and where the arrows where. I could have added a perpendicular notice of the triangular plane to the B vector. That would certainly clear up that thing!
@zeroth Also it seems that is some issue with the arc denoting the two \theta angles. The arcs are not in place if the elevation and/or azimuth is changed. Just FYI...
@AndrewStacey I think this is not as simply decided as you think. For example, when someone asks a question about a linguistics package or tikz-qtree, the question might be easily answered by me, (who knows and uses those packages every day) even though the question might appear opaque to non-users of those packages (even experts). But to the person asking the question, the question might appear simple or obvious, even though only an "expert" like me (in that limited domain) can answer it easily.
@StefanKottwitz The format is surely accessible through every major platform with a text editor (Wii soon be added), since it's a plain text format. We can build TeX from source if we want and even modify it, so it's open. The "language" is ruled by a set of directives fully described in the TeXbook and in other resources; I wouldn't use "standards" because it's IMHO a buzzword (for this context) and it's far newer than TeX itself.
According to the "Open Standards" list, I think we are in. :)
@PauloCereda Ehhhh. Only 1 full implementation, other readers are variable in quality, supposedly you see the same thing on every computer, but you don't if the viewer isn't identical, hard to use on the web, hard (and slow!) to search
@StefanKottwitz I think it is an acceptable standard for now, but I think we could easily do better. First throw out 90% of the features, as no one uses them. Make alternate characters a native part of it, so you don't have searches screwed up by ligatures. Make the file include the TeX code an images with it, so you have one package that is both the output and the input.
@StefanKottwitz I am aware of this; This is my wishlist.

@GonzaloMedina A man on a hot air balloon gets lost because of the fog. Happily he arrives at a spot where there's no fog and sees a guy on the ground under the balloon. "Where am I?" he asks. "On a hot air balloon", replies the guy. "Ouch, a mathematician," thinks the man on the balloon.
A man on a hot air balloon gets lost because of the fog. Happily he arrives at a spot where there's no fog and sees a guy on the ground under the balloon. "Where am I?" he asks. "On a hot air balloon", replies the guy. "You must be in management" calls out the man in the balloon. "Yes, I am. How did you know that?" asks the man on the ground. "The answer you gave was technically correct, but absolutely no use in helping me figure out where I am." The man on the ground replies
"Ah, I see. You must be in marketing." "Yes, I am, how did YOU know that?" "You are the one that got lost, and you aren't any worse off then before, but now it is my fault."
@egreg Feel free to write that into an answer so I can give you reputation. I was really not expecting it to be that easy!
I remember this one: a mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are riding a train through Scotland. The engineer looks out the window, sees a black sheep, and exclaims, "Hey! They've got black sheep in Scotland!" The physicist looks out the window and corrects the engineer, "Strictly speaking, all we know is that there's at least one black sheep in Scotland." (ctd)
(ctd) The mathematician looks out the window and corrects the physicist, " Strictly speaking, all we know is that is that at least one side of one sheep is black in Scotland."
@PauloCereda Tomorrow I'll have an introductory lecture in logic for high school students. One of the traditional things I say is about "what's a word" and I make the example of Constantinopolitanischerdudelsackspfeifenmachersgesellschaft
"Mus syllaba est. Mus autem caseum rodit. Ergo syllaba caseum rodit." Wrong: you can't go from the particular to the general. So let's change it: "Mus syllaba est. Syllaba autem caseum non rodit. Ergo mus caseum non rodit." :)
@egreg: I have a friend who told me this little 'joke', but I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell: a mathematician was being interviewed for a job; as one of the tests, he was put inside a room on fire and with a bucket of water on the table. The interviewer asked, "how would you solve this?". The mathematician took the bucket and spread water in the whole room. (ctd)
(ctd) Then he was taken to a second room, also on fire, and with the bucket of water over the table. The interviewer said, "how would you solve this?" The mathematician said, "Easy!", and simply took the bucket and put it on the table. :)
@PauloCereda There's a variation. The task is to boil some water having a pot, a tap and a gas stove. First case: the pot is empty. Solution: put the pot under the tap, fill the pot, put it on the stove. Second case: the pot is full. Solution: empty it so we reduce to the preceding case.
