I pasted your example above into the test.tex document and the text  
between the $$ .. $$ is scoped as string.other.math.tex  The word  
'where' is scoped as text.latex and the g,f is scoped as  
string.other.math.tex  I believe those are all correct yes?

So, now I'm curious as to whats different between your document and  
the test.tex document.

Is there a a reason to make the block math scope different than the  
regular math scope?  It seems like it might be better to move the $$  
into the TeX syntax file so that the contents of a block math scope  
got the same treatment as an inline math math.tex scope?
