What about this:

1)

The user activate the embedded equation component in order to edit it.
The user adds more content to the equation, making it larger.
The user deactivate the component.

In that situation, the desirable behaivor is the container assign more
space to the component, not clipping it.

2)

The user selects a paragraph in its Bonobo-enabled word processor. The
paragraph have a equation object embedded.
The user select a larger font size for the paragraph.

The desirable behaivor is the equation component use a larger font, in
order to look like the text around it. This implies the component will be
larger.
