Do you know about the 'altimg' attribute on the <math> element? If not, you may want to take a look, since it is for the situation you describe. However, to answer your specific question, at least for MathPlayer, by default it will ignore unknown attributes on the <math> element. (It has stricter validation modes that will catch this, but the average end-user can't turn these modes on.) --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Robert Miner RobertM@dessci.com MathML 2.0 Specification Co-editor 651-223-2883 Design Science, Inc.
