Description

Filtered content (like math notations) are unusable in important areas like:

Emails / Messaging - any messages or email that are sent (like via the forum or plugins like QuickMail) send the unfiltered notations to the user.

Annotations - grading math answers via assignment text areas are useless with filtered content.

Data Exports - downloaded content contains the unfiltered content and is not readable for students.
