Thanks Rouben!

The situation as I see it is: I want to go from San Francisco
to Los Angles by car and buy a automotive navigation system.
I start, follow the instructions and after a while I find
myself in Las Vegas. So I call the manufacturer and complain.
The manufacturer answers: Hey, there is another button on the
device, the blue one, press it and it will lead you to Los
Angeles. And indeed it does.

So is this OK or absurd? I do know that an algorithmic solution
of simplification problems require some regularizations and
mapping to some standard internal representation before they
can be solved. However it is the promise of a CAS to do this
internally.

In the examples I wanted expressions simplified to 1 or to 0
not to an exponential expression. Other CASs understand this
-- but not Maple.
