Thanks for the clarification!  Is there an easy way to have them be
treated as full-fledged environments?  I usually prefer to use the above
for unnumbered display equations since it reduces visual clutter and
looks closer to the intent.

I've noticed that adding "\\\\\\[" and "\\\\\\]" to
org-element-paragraph-separate will prevent complete inlining, but that
the newline after the mark will be removed, which makes the formatting a
little less clear.  Is it possible to treat \[ ... \] as full-fledged
unnumbered equation environments?  My own understanding of how the
parser works is insufficient to the task of changing its behavior
here...

It's not a very big deal, but if there's an easy way to accomplish this
I'd appreciate any help.  

Thanks,
