It Looks like our replies crossed paths on the network...

Next question:   \comment appears to be your own block comment  
function.  So, Should any of the latex that follows be scoped as  
anything other than a comment?  Since \comment is your own function  
the answer is probably no, but how to know what should work and what  
shouldn't

The problem for me is that it is not clear what LaTeX/TeX constructs  
are legal to embed in what other constructs.  For a simple example,  
replace \comment with \textbf  Strangely, all the text inside the  
textbf does not bold the text that was previously commented.  Nor  
does it produce an error.  Other times I have tried to put latex  
environments inside TeX commands and they result in errors....

That said, I moved the displaymath declarations into the TeX syntax  
file and all appears to be scoped correctly.  in your document.

I'm going to do a  bit more testing and then I'll commit the change.
