Nope. See:

I don't recall such a timetable. Does anyone know where
this came from?

Nobody 'nuked' anything. It was just a case of lack of a critical
mass of resources to get the spec finished _and_ the code deployed.
Again, please see the HTML Activity statement.

By the way: one of the places resources were lacking was in the HTML
working group of the IETF. The IETF is an all-volunteer
organization. So there was no 'they'. There were only folks who were
doing the work, and folks sitting on the side, not doing the work.

Is it really a standard you want, or some software that supports
math functionality?
