Not off-topic: Wrong couple divorced after computer error by law firm Vardag's

[Paulo Ney de Souza]

I haven't seen a legal document that uses fine typography. I am pretty
asure some exist.

 We are talking about science and the ability to adjust things as minor as
the centering of a formula inside a matrix, or adjusting kerning of indexes
on a Christofell symbol, for example. These are the details that modifying
TeX derived from XML is extremely cumbersome, expensive and unreliable.
