Thank you very much David, for your fast response. I would be much obliged to you if you could give me some more hint on how to use floating point numbers in MathML: > You can use <cn type="real">1.234</cn> or <cn type="e-notatation">0.1234<sep/>1</cn> > but in both cases it is is essentially arbitrary precision numbers.

I am a newbie to MathML, therefore a very short hint or example would be much appreciated. I think it is really crucial to be able to encode floating point arithmetics (IEEE 754) for a MathML project to be fully useful. As I have described earlier, we are working on some routines for conversion from Matlab (Polynomial Toolbox for Matlab) to MathML. A basic data type in Matlab is 'double'...
