I think you're overlooking the paucity of keyboard characters.  I doubt
many programmers want to learn an input system to allow them to
represent, say, u2208.  Never mind *one* input system; you have to
explain how to enter that symbol under Windows, on a Macintosh, in X,
and in a VT100 emulator, if not some combination of those.  

You're also overestimating the mathematical literacy of the programming
public, but that's a separate matter.  :-(
