As described in http://www.w3.org/Math/characters the XML parser used in Internet Explorer 6 fails to accept characters above the basic plane of unicode, that is with unicode numbers greater than hex FFFF. This has the effect that IE6 will reject every document that refers to the MathML DTD as the DTD uses references to these characters to define entities for the math alphabetic chgaracters, Afr etc. I'm pleased to report that Microsoft have released a new version "Internet Exploer 6 SP1" which cures this problem. This is available as a free download from Microsoft's site at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.asp I have no connection with Microsoft, but have installed this update on my machines and can confirm that this new release does parse the MathML DTD. I recommend this update to any users of Internet Explorer who are interested in MathML.
