I agree with the position of Frank. But this is only an additional reason 
for scripttags. A default_script is a pre-entered scripttag. Flexibility in 
script is necessary to enlarge/reduce/change script in a page. For example 
in a form to permit uppercases only. To support mathematic formula. Are 
there Members of the TeX community on this list? I would be interested in 
comments from experience?
