There does not seem to be any real support for vulgar fractions in MathML (neither as specified nor as currently implemented). I agree that adding such support to MathML might make more sense than adding another way of encoding fractions to HTML proper, though, ? *if* mark- up is needed ? despite limited use of vulgar fractions in mathematics.

At least firefox supports > ligatures these days which is somewhat similar. I have not approached any browser makers yet, and I am not aware of any good reason for not supporting the fraction slash. Now, you are obviously aware of the issue and presumably in a situation to follow it up. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make it more likely for this feature to be considered for addition to Firefox (apart from actually implementing it myself). -- ?istein E. Andersen
