This may be an > unfortunate front-end design limitation. Are you sure? You can individually control the Default FormatType for TextInline which, by default is set to TraditionalForm. And for "display math" (e.g. NumberedEquation cells in some StyleSheets), you can independently control the formatting. Note that you can define your _own_ FormatType, not just be restricted to InputForm, OutputForm, StandardForm and TraditionalForm. Defining a FormatType from scratch is, of course, non-trivial but one can use ParentForm to define a new FormatType that inherits formats from one of the built-in FormatTypes. I hope to include an example of using ParentForm in the forthcoming issue of The Mathematica Journal.
