Woudn't a MathML or LaTeX plugin for the wiki handle it much better?

Yes, I would tend to agree.

It would but it goes against [Cover the common things people need|Goals]. IMO, it is not as common as [Superscript] but if we have the latter, why shouldn't we have [Subscript]?.

Let's be bold and include the markup in [Creole0.4].

BTW, I like {{{,,,superscript text,,,}}} better :
* Easier to type on international keyboards
* No collision with anything.

We don't have [Superscript] and I don't see how it is more common than subscript in general. Maybe there is some particular use you have in mind, like the "¹", "²", "³" for footnotes, for example?

Beside for basic chemistry or for number/variable indices, I don't use it much... Personally, I don't want to force the end-user to learn a new markup language for what I consider as a basic function in most word processors (even if it is sometimes hidden). For subscript, I don't have anything more substantiated.
