Some way to get HTML entities (i.e. stuff like ∈ and ⊆, not stuff like <b> and <i>) - or something similar - to work in comments.
You can use the Unicode characters represented by those entities directly — e.g. ∈, ⊆.
...of course it's not obvious that there's a convenient way to do this, so thank you for making me go look for one! It turns out http://unicodelookup.com/ works pretty well for this purpose. Nevermind; this is unecessary after all.
You might also take a look at Using LaTeX to render mathematics. However, the Unicode solution may be preferable in many instances, as text is less obtrusive than inserted images for simple usage.
