I think that mention of 'any' goes on to make this a difficult task. How about just limiting the task to parsing a very limited subset of the formats you mentioned that are more likely to be used in practice? Or how about chucking the emphasis on parsing and making the trask more about outputting an input polynomial in a normaized format? (That should address some of the issues that Ledrug pointed out above, and that I share). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:02, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 
I have added ''"Specific examples of Unicode and polynomial texts to be parsed as test cases"'' and removed the word ''"any"''. This should about cover the ugliest polynomials I can imagine. ThanX [[User:NevilleDNZ|NevilleDNZ]] 05:53, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
