Hmm.  I thought Relay Web Traveller [1] - which is an HTML 3.0draft
browser - did, but maths is on it's not yet implemented list because
there is no current draft that covers maths.  I suspect this reason goes
for others, too.

Symposia does do HTML 3.0draft, and it does maths, but I am not sure it
uses the HTML 3.0 draft math.  See a screen shot [2] of Symposia editing
a copy of your personal home page [3].  Speaking of which, a wander
round your web site did not turn up any pages using HTML 3.0draft.
Could you provide the URL of a sample?

No.  Some people say it does not do enough.  Some people say "Web users
don't want or need maths" (so the more people that say they do, the
better).

Please send mail saying that to W3C, and to the people who produce any 
browsers you use.
