I agree; where the output should be broken up depends on too many
other things besides the actual equation.

It can't be perfect, but it does seem to work pretty well in most
cases. I haven't heard of anyone working on it since Michael
Downes; too bad.

I said I'd have some sort of EAxiom to send you a while ago; obviously
I don't. Sorry! Right now I'm in the middle of writing my portfolio;
I should be finished with that early next week. Soon after I expect
to devote a lot of time to Axiom, starting with EAxiom. I promise to
send something in December.
