Note that there are more "should we really include these MathML3
features in Core?" in the list (the spec mentions ISSUEs for mglyph,
mlabeletr, compex mpadded syntax or fence/separator). I don't think it's
really useful to keep discussing them for now given that 1) There is no
plan from implementers to have these in all browsers anyway. 2) The
polyfill situation is still unclear so people will keep using the same
arguments to try and include MathML3 features to MathML Core. So I'm not
interested at all in wasting time on this.

As I said, the biggest priority right now is updating the operator
dictionary to allow a compact form. I sent pull requests last Thursday
that are pending:

https://github.com/mathml-refresh/xml-entities/pulls

We can go over these PR and discuss each item but it would be much
better if people check them before the meeting so that we don't have to
postpone this again and again.
