On the question of whether semantically _essential_ styling should be in the document (@frivoal's comments), I think a good comparison is HTML `dir` vs CSS `direction`. We recommend that authors use the attribute to keep the semantics in the document, but the CSS property exists so that the same effect can be achieved with other content languages (e.g., it maps to a presentation attribute in SVG), and regardless of the markup used, it gets mapped into the same text processing pathways. So if MathML supports ASCII text that gets upgraded to mathematical formatting using an attribute, that is still preserving the semantics in the document. But if it removes some of the "magic" of the rendering to describe the effect of that attribute through a CSS style, then keeping semantics in the document shouldn't be an objection to the style rule. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3745#issuecomment-477242720 using your GitHub account
