Re: Sharing MathML data for Firefox

I assume this is about MathML elements such as "mfenced" that previously you have expressed a wish to drop.  I continue to advise you not to take any such step.  That said, I have questions:

Will your probe pick up instances where MathJax ("CommonHTML") rendering of MathML is used?

Will your probe pick up instances served as "application/xhtml+xml"?  I mention this case because some web searching algorithms seem often to have bypassed it.

Thank you for your contributions.

Subject: Sharing MathML data for Firefox

Hi everybody,

In [1], Emilio has re-enabled MathML telemetry on all Firefox channels.
Currently we only have one probe measuring the number of top-level
documents containing MathML [2]. However, we plan to add more probes for
legacy MathML 3 features soon in order to complement the survey [3] and
decide whether we can remove them from MathML Core and unship them from
Firefox.

If you are a Firefox user and want to participate to this data
collection, then please make sure you checked the option

"Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla"

in your privacy preference. Feel free to share this information to other
MathML folks in order to maximize the measured population and make the
data more accurate/useful.

Thanks,
