I don't know if anyone else has dealt with this yet. "MathML" sounds
good to me. However, I have copied Paul Topping from Design Science
(MathType equation editor) and Angel Diaz (IBM techexplorer) on this
message, since one or both of them may have something else in the
works.
I propose that if no one responds on this issue within week, we assume
that "MathML" will become the de facto standard.
