I'm not against including dual Presentation and Content MathML given the state of the art. What I think is problematic is using product- specific formats instead of Content MathML. Allowing product-specific formats diminishes the incentive for vendors to use Content MathML for semantic round-tripping. Using dual Presentation and Content MathML wouldn't solve the problem of out-of-sync data branches, but at least there'd be a level playing field for apps importing MathML for editing. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
