Maybe I am misunderstanding, but I don't think this is true. MathML has a media fallback mechanism, by virtue of the 'overflow', 'altimg' and 'alttext' attributes on the <math> element. See 7.1.2 The Top-Level math Element in the spec. These attributes have only rarely been implemented, but I know of a couple software packages that do one or more of them, and I'd definitely say it is better to use them if possible, even being a little abusive if necessary, than to invent something new. --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Robert Miner RobertM@dessci.com W3C Math Interest Group co-chair 651-223-2883 Design Science, Inc.
