Jean-Jacques Laublé wrote that he could not read Powersim models and 
laments not having access to the equations.

Perhaps a small rules change for paper submissions could help. If I am 
coming up against the page limit of the paper and still have stunningly 
brilliant things to say, I'm reluctant to use space for equations. If 
the model file (of whatever ilk) can be accompanied by a companion 
document that includes the equations and a pdf document that shows the 
model structure, anyone ought to be able to reconstruct the model in the 
package of their choice. Neither of the two would require work from 
reviewers or conference staff.
