Hi, please note that display of vowels as a concern is a stylistic question, and there are style solutions in many cases. For example in SVG it is easy to include vowels which are not actually displayed. Similarly in MathML, the convention of writing ab insted of a.o or a times b is supported through the availability of the invisibleTimes element.
