Re: WG draft charter

Hi Neil, I am concerned that the “MathML Accessibility Techniques” is in the non-normative and in the “Such-As” category which is not obligated to be completed.

I feel really strongly that accessibility semantics and its corresponding techniques documents MUST be included or we will end up again with a specification that when implemented won’t be accessible.

I was expecting to see in the scope section that “Accessibility Semantics” would be part of this, and included in the “Normative Specifications” of the deliverables.

I would also also include possibly in the Other deliverables section a reference to Chemistry semantics, and potentially other semantics where mathML is used to represent a domain other that mathematics.

Thanks

Brian wrote a starting point for our MathML Working Group charter. As per the meeting today, it is a google doc.<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W-oYUbOMueaqb3KFSWkjWVBwR6AzSEBizHwQhvSwfDc/edit#heading=h.x4m5sjbkoiqd> I have linked to it from our main MathML Refresh<https://mathml-refresh.github.io/> page. Please take a look at it and comment on it or add things you feel are missing.

Many thanks to Brian for writing up such a great starting document!
