Arbitrary XML has no semantics. Author stylesheets are always optional -- in Opera, for example, you can press Ctrl-G at any time. With MathML (or any standard language), you are always guarenteed that the user can always find a way to display (or render using a non-visual device) the content appropriately. With arbitrary XML, the user has no way to know what you intended if he does not want (or is not able) to use your stylesheets. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL U+1047E /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
