CTAN Update: SemanTeX
Quite a big update. Apart from a few internal optimizations, it greatly improves the stripsemantex algorithm, so that all SemanTeX markup, including the one containing \SemantexDelimiterSize, can now be completely stripped. Consequently, the key allowSemantexDelimiterSize has been removed since it no longer serves any purpose. The semtex package is therefore almost unnecessary, and I might decide to remove it completely later. (The algorithm itself has also been changed a bit, so that it requires more iterations, but it's worth it because of the previous improvement.) The recommendations regarding set constructions and Laurent series have been updated.

SemanTeX – Semantic, keyval-based mathematics
The SemanTeX package for LaTeX delivers a more semantic, systematized way of writing mathematics, compared to the classical math syntax in LaTeX. The system uses keyval syntax, and the user can define their own keys and customize the system down to the last detail. At the same time, care has been taken to make the syntax as simple, natural, practical, and lightweight as possible.
Furthermore, the package has a companion package, called stripsemantex, which allows you to completely strip your documents of SemanTeX markup to prepare them e.g. for publication.
The package is still in beta, but is considered feature-complete and more or less stable, so using it at this point should be safe. Still, suggestions, ideas, and bug reports are more than welcome!
