Re: paranthesis

Let's refer to the specification [1]. It says:

"Thus, any mfenced element is completely equivalent to an expanded form
[the mrow form]; either form can be used in MathML, at the convenience of
an author or of a MathML-generating program. A MathML renderer is required
to render either of these forms in exactly the same way."

So, Amaya is right is generating the mrow form, and if you use a compliant
renderer, the result should be OK.
