Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Add new CSS text-transform values for math (#3745)

What is essential is that different types of variables, e.g. scalars and vectors, be typographically distinct. However, the actual choice of appearance is a matter of style. Someone gave this example already: vectors in particular can be presented in many ways. 

That makes a text-transform a reasonable tool in defining how to render certain constructs in different environments (different documents).

For accessibility, what should be passed on to the screen reader would ideally be the semantic value (e.g. vector) and not the raw choice of rendered value. Certainly, it would be more useful to hear "vector a" than "mathematical bold small a".

That would presuppose that styling is associated in a logical way with semantic information somewhere, e.g. via a class=vector, perhaps.
