I noticed this peculiarity about the type attribute going through the specs last night. <quote excerpt="true"> 4.4.1.2 Identifier (ci) "the ci element uses the type attribute to specify the type of the object that it represents. Valid types include integer, real, float, complex, constant and more generally, any of the names of MathML container elements or their type values. </quote> This yields as additional types allowed the container elements: apply, lambda, fn, reln, set, interval, list, matrix, vector, matrixrow, cn, ci, csymbol, (lowlimit, uplimit, degree, bvar) plus the additional type values of container elements: cn: complex-cartesian, complex-polar declare: (completely unrestrained: CDATA?) (tendsto: above, below,...) This list does not contain type="logical" (example, 4.4.12.10) nor does it contain the operator types defined in MathML, namely function, relation, quantifier, operator, constructor, From these lists it is clear that it would probably be a good idea to make as complete a list of type attributes here as is reasonable, with definitions, and to allow general CDATA otherwise. 4.4.1.3 csymbol: shouldn't this allow a type attribute, too?
