This would be easier to determine if such a language as PML existed, but
since it does not (and, I would argue, is unlikely to as long as "sufficient
for the punctuation of human thought" remains a contested concept), this is
not a concrete use case, and as such, is out of scope for the HTML5 WG, in
my opinion.
