Agree. That is how we handle the NEWLINE command. As pointed out in comment 4 and comment 5 above. And, attempt to modify parser behavior were not viable.

And this becomes a documentation issue against describing behavior of NEWLINE on formula layout [1][2]. What should be said about SM use of NEWLINE command and its effect on parsing starmath/mathml syntax for rendering of formula(s) to canvas?
