There are two options as I see it: 1) We remain consistent with SVG/MathML elsewhere, and require it to be well-formed XML within HTML, and refuse to render them if they are ill-formed. 2) We remain consistent with HTML, and have full non-draconian error- handling. The two are mutually exclusive. As we are dealing with HTML, I'd much rather see HTML remain consistent (i.e., option 2) and not go against the basic principles it relies on (e.g., not dying on an error). -- Geoffrey Sneddon <http://gsnedders.com/>
