Hello MathML peeps! Your colleague from WebApps WG here. I am editor of the Custom Elements spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/custom-elements/). This specification enables authors to define their own types of DOM elements (hence the "custom elements" name). To distinguish "custom" elements from "built-in" elements within the HTML namespace, we use the presence of a dash (U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS character) in the tag name of the element and a blacklist of pre-existing dash-containing tag names: http://www.w3.org/TR/custom-elements/#concepts Naturally, this approach would only work if existing specifications whose tag names coexist in HTML namespace (SVG and MatML) would avoid creating elements with dash-containing names in the future revisions of their specifications. SVG WG (via Tab Atkins, cc'd) already stated that they will do so. I was hoping I coordinate the same with you guys. Can I get an amen? :) Here's the spec bug that covers this: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23256 Happy Friday! :DG<
