CTAN update: SemanTeX
Keys like "upper -", "lower -", "-" etc. have been removed; those were previously aliases of "upper slot", "lower slot", "slot" etc. The reason for the removal of these is that it causes confusion when you want to use a minus sign as in index, as in "\vy[-]". Furthermore, due to a previous, failed find-and-replace operation, keys like "lower *" were accidentally called "lower **", while what was supposed to be "lower **" was really called "lower ***". The error was not present in the "upper" equivalents of these keys.

SemanTeX – Semantic, keyval-based mathematics
The SemanTeX package for LaTeX delivers a more semantic, systematized way of writing mathematics, compared to the classical math syntax in LaTeX. The system uses keyval syntax, and the user can define their own keys and customize the system down to the last detail. At the same time, care has been taken to make the syntax as simple, natural, practical, and lightweight as possible.
Furthermore, the package has a companion package, called stripsemantex, which allows you to completely strip your documents of SemanTeX markup to prepare them e.g. for publication.
The package is still in beta, but is considered feature-complete and more or less stable, so using it at this point should be safe. Still, suggestions, ideas, and bug reports are more than welcome!
