Please see for example Gilbarg/Trudinger "Elliptic Partial Differential 
Equations" or Cioranescu/Saint Jean Paulin "Homogenization of Reticulated 
Structures", pg. 13, both Springer, where assumptions are enumerated and 
then given an equation number. Some people are even nesting equation 
numbers and there have been problems with this nested structures with AMS 
but they are fixed, see
http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/diffs-m.txt 
(and look there for minipage).

Instead of a framebox I can certainly use a fbox but not under all 
circumstances. (Yes, boxed equations look horrible, sorry for that but I've 
used it for a presentation.)

Best regards
