Can't say if it is OK or not, it is just the way it is.

We've been able to insert LaTeX into titles for quite a while, in the old system. There have been a couple that I changed from tex to itex so they didn't span multiple lines.
 
Shouldn't be encouraged because it can break layouts and google will index the page as "Spectrum of #(x_1,x_2,x_3,...)\mapsto(0,x_1,2^{-1}x_2,...)#"
 
We can simply remove it everywhere we see it. Users rarely try that and it is probably hard to change, so it does not look like an urgent issue.
