Re: coordinates content MathML

The point of representing n-tuples was brought up by Andreas Strotmann
The discussion appears in the MathML 2.0: last Call Dispositions at:
http://www.w3.org/Math/lastcall/response.html
just search for n-tuple, it appears the resolvers believe that 

"It has been decided to continue to use lists and/or vectors to represent 
n-tuples at this time since whenever the standard definitions of a list 
(or vector) are inappropriate, the simple act of adding a definitionURL 
can be used to transform them into an appropriately defined object."

I guess you can use OpenMath to define such an object

all the best,
