One day! The university system switches to a read-only mode at the end of every 
week, and I cannot open-source anything for two years after the submission. I 
ended up posting an "errata" comment.

Yes, the three letters denote a function name, not a product of three 
variables. I simplified the snippet for the mailing list. In reality, I typed 
$\mathrm{idf}(t)>c$, as one should. Thank you for caring!

Ha-ha! Yeah, I avoid spaces because they make me think for much too long about 
where to put them. Knuth would write $t\in q$, like you said, but that looks 
"unbalanced" to me. Of course, $t \in q$ looks best, but that sends me to back 
to the "whitespace paralysis" mode. Help wanted.
