There has been plenty of discussion about introducing MathML-like markup into HTML 5. Although, personally, I'm not convinced that it's a good idea. This works in Mozilla and, given the right plugins, should work in others too. <object type="application/mathml+xml" data="math.xml"></object> > In other forums people are discussing adding XForms. I think the discussions about XForms are about trying to retrofit the XForms model into the HTML forms syntax. I'm not convinced that's a good idea either, but that's what they've been discussing over on www-forms. > However what I'm hearing is that people do want to mix in different > vocabularies such as MathML and XForms without using namespaces, No, not without namespaces, just without the xmlns and QNames syntax. e.g. when <math> is encountered in text/html, it appears in the DOM as <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> We definitely don't want people thinking they can use any arbitrary xmlns in HTML. That's what XHTML is for. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
