However, i have been following the minutes when i can. Do we have a formal list of requirements? Perhaps that could be our first item to write up in a community group? Since i haven't see such a thing go by, here are some notes. 1. Everywhere: the same markup works on the open web and in ebooks, and ideally in HTML and XML elsewhere. 2. Responsive: supports linebreaking of large equations, e.g. on phone screens. 3. Accessible: can be read aloud, zoomed, copied, pasted etc. 4. Semantic: supports searching for all reactions involving iodine (I) for example, without having to look at every use of the word I in a whole book. 5. Ubiquity: Can be used in running text, not just blocks or figures. Yes, there are even book titles (more common in journals) that contain chemical and mathematical notations.
