Re: The updated version of Notations Package

I have long ago given up using the Notation palette because of  
recurring problems of this kind. In the past I had awful and  
embarrassing problems when notebooks that worked perfectly with  
earlier versions of Mathematica stopped working with newer versions  
(just when I was giving a conference talk). In addition if you change  
your Default Input FormatType a notebook that uses the Notation  
Package may stop working. I have had more problems with this package  
than with all other Mathematica packages put together and I do not  
think that the benefits if offers are anywhere near being worth the  
awful headaches that it has given me.

So my recommendation is to just forget it.
