I would like >to be able to combine papers written in LaTeX and TeX into one paper, plain.tex is a macro package written in raw TeX, LaTeX is a macro package written in raw TeX, and includes part of plain.tex, except for things it does in different ways, namely most of the math environments, sectioning and lists. There is nothing to prevent you from adding the definitions you need from plain.tex to lplain.tex (the LaTeX definitions). You have to be careful not to mix and match incompatible things (don't go using TeX macros that play with margins within a list environment like itemize! -- see Lamport's book for details). You may have to put equations formatted a la TeX inside boxes before letting LaTeX number them, and so on.
