Ian, http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/New_Vocabularies_Solution this looks promising, although I haven't assimilated all the detailed implications yet. A process question first, is it best to make comments in email or via the wiki? > we add all the MathML entities to the entity list. I think specifically you should use the version of these from http://www.w3.org/tr/xml-entity-names (some future REC version, rather than its current first working draft version) This will be the same as the MathML3 entities, and it will hopefully be better aligned with Unicode 5, stix fonts etc, and it will certainly be aligned with HTML. The MathML2 entities differ in one or two places from the HTML ones (phi and some others) which has the bad effect that for xhtml+mathml the exact definition of the entity in effect depends on the (arcane) details of the way you merged the dtds. (The MathML2 entity definitions were trying to be compatible with both html and docbook, as they both use mathml, but unfortunately they were mutually incompatible, however docbook 5 doesn't define its own entity set anymore and defers to the above (or rather to http://www.w3.org/2003/entities, which is the editor's draft of same). A merged/sorted/deduplicated entity file for ISO/HTML/MathML is http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007/w3centities-f.ent (which is linked from the above WD.)
