It is not primarily buggy renderers, that I am worried about. I am more worried about buggy emitters of MathML. It seems that it will take a while before there MathML support will be built into mass market browsers. It appears likely that software to emit MathML will probably appear first on the market, as a selling point for various kinds of eg. word processing software. What if say, eg. MS Word produces buggy MathML? Then MS would probably support these bugs in its browser, etc. Zbigniew Fiedorowicz
