Proposal: Add this public identifier to the list of public identifiers for
which Web browsers with XHTML support are expected to support named entities:

   "-//W3C//ENTITIES HTML MathML Set//EN//XML"

There is already an extension spec (WD) that do add this public identifier:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-pubid/.

The purpose of the extension spec is to get Web browsers (Web browsers with
XHTML support) to implement it (on the XML tool chain side of it, there should
already support). So motivation for asking that it gets listed in HTML 5.1
Nightly is so that XHTML Web browser vendors will pick it up - I am not sure
they pay attention to extension WDs. 

Motivation for why this identifier should be supported, is described in the WD.
