Scott,
How about Sections 4.2.3.3 and 4.2.3.4 of RFC 1122 (1889), for examples
of readable equations in ASCII? I my experience, normative protocol
technical specifications rarely need equations much more complex than
these examples. The only significant exception I can think of is the
NTP spec.
People who REALLY use equations generally prefer LaTeX.

The draft has expired so I need to point to an external version. This draft
which is looking at the properties of a routing network under conditions of
failure would have been much clearer if it could have used mathematical
notation rather than ASCIIised equations

Of course the diagrams could have also been clearer, as is seen by
comparing them to the ones that Alia used in her presentatons on the
subject.
