In the notes to the meeting there was a discussion of tools that can be used - one of the reasons for working with an XHTML source instead of the spec dtd was that it is easier to find friendly HTML editing tools than XML editing tools. (Especially for those of us with Macintoshes) For a number of collaborators working in native XML is not a helpful suggestion, and for others it is less efficient - overuse injuries are aggravated by dealing with the tag trivia. Not that working with emacs (or vi or notepad or whatever) is evil, just that it is not for everyone.

Is there a specific editing requirement that is being addressed, so far it seems to be a list of editors (which could be never ending). Also no one has mentioned emacs (It's hard for me to contemplate editing in anything other than emacs:-) I think everyone working on the MathML spec used emacs.
