I may be illiterare but I know no-way a piece of XHTML can refer to some semantics somewhere. Sorry to have used the wrong name, the correct name is "parallel markup". MathML has this ability to have a presentation markup hinting to a content http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-MathML2-20031021/chapter5.html#id.5.3.3 It is called "parallel markup" and I think it's very important for any purpose like "copy and paste", "machine-readability", or just about any semantic web application. Mathematics were relatively ready for such purposes... merging them into CSS would sort of loose this! paul PS: it would even loose the ability to consider as math an XML-extract whereas previously it was possible to have, with limited generality, a good consideration of the mathematical nature of a presentation-mathml-snippet, allowing it to be pasted in Maple and Mathematica, for example. > while formatting is formatting and it is more convenient to handled it > by style sheets.
