Dear All,
In the EPUB 3 Community Group, the question was asked about Chemistry. See
the GitHub issue:
https://github.com/w3c/publ-cg/issues/66
Many people responded to me and I collected those names and links to
relevant work. Thank you to those who responded over the past few days
About a call to discuss this issue.

relevant information people pointed me to.
5. Developing samples
6. Method for testing
7. Organization of group, i.e. need for a formal group, or under

Work by Volker Sorge

Design Science creators of MathType joined forces with WIRIS, they released
ChemType (which is based on ChemML)

CML Chemical Markup Language
Peter is one of the Authors, he may possibly participate. No pressure.

Has anyone looked at representing CML with custom elements? I expect the
rendering would get very complex, but finding gaps in CSS would be most
useful, and filling those gaps could be fodder for the Houdini project.
Dedicon has best practices for chemistry. I used google translate to view

Stem Literature review
This page is a collection of relevant references on Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math, with a focus on domain-specific notation and
accessibility
implications. It is part of RQTF's activity looking at accessibility and
Domain-specific notation.
The reference list should not be considered complete or definitive, and is
likely to regularly undergo formatting improvement and reorganization to
support
the review and analysis process.
