If you serve XHTML+MathML content as application/xhtml+xml you don't need to include junk quoted above in each document (it has to be added explicitly only if you serve page as text/html). And if you use content type that is not supposed to be used for XHTML + MathML documents, then you should not complain about UA specific code, as institutionalizing spec violations is a UA specific practice "unduly influenced by particular market participants" :P > I hope we can persuade the purveyors of user agents offering such > constructions to join with others in providing a better approach that > is both secure and inter-operably meaningful. Today application/xhtml+xml is the most interoperable solution that all MathML aware UAs recognize. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze
