(Present form was a compromise to work in IE5/Netscape 4....) I (David C) dislike the unconstrained width of the page in the TR styles. > > > --------------------------------- > Complex style > ---- > Paste in URLs to any parts of your spec that are stylistically complex or > tricky, and we should therefore be careful not to screw up. > > Any math examples eg http://www.w3.org/Math/draft-spec/mathml.html#chapter3_id.3.2.5.8.1 any attribute table eg http://www.w3.org/Math/draft-spec/mathml.html#chapter3_id.3.3.2.2 hyperlinked RelaxNG grammars eg http://www.w3.org/Math/draft-spec/mathml.html#appendixa_parsing.rnc.strict > > > --------------------------------- > Table style > ---- > The new styles will include rules for rendering data tables. These will > be opt-in by class name, and rely heavily on good markup (use of THEAD, > TBODY, COLGROUP, scope attributes, etc.). See Simple Example, Less Simple > Example, and Extra-Complex Example.

In entities spec: Tables of math alphabets http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/bold.html Tables of unicode ranges http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007doc/026.html As all the html markup is generated, changing the html markup and/or css classes here is not a problem as we can generate whatever is required for the new style. Assuming the new style is just applied to new documents. An earlier attempt at restyling was retrospectively applied to existing documents in TR (and broke them completely) > > > --------------------------------- > CSS WG Style > ---- > The CSSWG has made a number of minor improvements to the existing spec > styles, which we might just adopt wholesale. Please comment on what you > like/dislike about these styles, as demonstrated in the CSS3 Text > specification. > > Generally in favour of the direction taken there as long as there is some flexibility, mathml has a lot of examples and tables for example that may necessitate a slightly wider body width, we'll see... > > > --------------------------------- > Anything else? > ---- > > Is there anything else we should consider? > > > Math rendering... > > These answers were last modified on 31 July 2015 at 13:00:40 U.T.C. > by David Carlisle > Answers to this questionnaire can be set and changed at https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/tr-design-survey-2015/ until 2015-09-01.
