>So why not publish on the net first?
                       ^^^
Because
(1) Which net?
(2) No current connection into archival/citation systems to establish priority.
(3) Low value for retention/promotion/tenure.
(4) No common encoding documents with equations, tables and figures.
Please help to spread an awareness of these problems.
They need solving,
