Sorry, missed this. This is in fact a very easy change to make, all the
images are generated afresh (from the tex source in the alt attribute)
each time the spec is regenerated so this just amounts to removing
-transparency '#FFFFFF' from the rendereq script in the CVS sources of
the spec at the W3C. (I've done this and will regenerate the spec later
today. I did try forcing my browser to use yellow text on a dark blue
background, and I agree the images don't look too good then.
(This is the mathml example images, the character pngs in chapter 6 were
already white background)

This is OK, I think, context is

will of necessity
perhaps a comma after well ?

Not done, presentation isn't an adjective of annotation here, but rather
MathML Presentation is the capitalised name title of that part of MathML.

Grr not done the use of ' here is as a single quote
not as an apostrophe. Even though the unicode apostrope character is
used rather than one of the single quote characters.
The use of this character as the single quote character predates
the addition of specific quote characters in later encodings such as
unicode, as is recognsed in its older unicode name:
0027;APOSTROPHE;Po;0;ON;;;;;N;APOSTROPHE-QUOTE;;;;

Not done this morning as this isn't just an editorial issue, it affects
the spec so I'll wait for comments from other WG members.
I thought we intended to follow CSS2.

unchanged. as before, I'm resisting the assumption that "quotation marks"
are double.

done. (deleted "actually begins")

done, but we don't want to imply we could have frames between the
columns, so:
For example, if a table had five columns and it was desired to have
no frame around the table but to have lines between the columns, then
<code>columnlines="none solid solid solid solid none"</code>
would be necessary. If the frame is separated from the internal
lines, only <code>columnlines="solid"</code> is needed.</p>

Not done, it would be confusing as the syntax uses quoted forms '('
and unquoted forms: ( and it is an unquoted (unapostroped:-) +
that is being used here.
> '{' and '}' represent literal braces; and ( and ) are used
> '{' and '}' represent literal braces; and '(' and ')' are used
as above, the fact that the second sort of braces are not quoted
is the point of this comment.

The sentence as it stands is a bit long, but I think this change would
alter the meaning so i left it as it was.
that gets to the end of C3. May do some more later
