Re: Math WG comments on latest CDF documents

Surely the best choice was (and still is) to mark the resolution as
disagree as that is unfortunately the outcome. Marking it as anything
else (including its present state) just gives the impression that the
CDF group is trying to artificially lower the "disagree" count.

Comments on an earlier draft, even if it was a "last call" are quite
likely to be less appropriate for later drafts as, by the nature of
things the text in later drafts will have changed.

The Math WG went to some trouble to review the second last call and
send new comments, we didn't just leave the old comments to stand.
If the comments are just going to brushed off as a duplicate, why did we
bother, in fact why have a second review call at all?

MathML is the oldest XML application and is specifcally designed to be
used in "compound document formats". It and all other textual language
formats will be harmed if frameworks based on the current CDF specs are
deployed, and surely it's not asking too much that the Math WG's
disagreement with the current CDF specs are unambiguously recorded?
