https://mathml-refresh.github.io/mathml-core/#mathml-elements-and-attributes

has 3 definitions: "mrow-like elements", "scripted elements" and
"radical elements".

I think Brian suggested 2 things: rename "mrow-like" and add brief
explanation (
https://github.com/mathml-refresh/mathml/issues/221#issuecomment-641743332
). These are pure renaming and explanatory comment, the definitions
itself remain unchanged.

I understand there was consensus on the renaming. Do I also need to add
a brief explanation in this section too?
