Re: MathML Markup for Synthetic Division and cis function

That would take two menclosed elements, one for each side.
the problem with using menclosed (or frame) rather than
rowlines/columnlines is that you potentially lose the alignment between
the rows that are within the lines and the final row that is below the
line. Although I suppose you could regain alignment using malign.

Yes, I'm not sure that it _has_ to produce that effect, it depends how
much space a renderer allocates to empty rows or columns, I think.
I agree it's not ideal though.

there is no existing specification. I was just commenting that such an
extension might be something to consider in any possible future MathML3.

In general extra markup for long division and other similar layout forms
is something that has previously been suggested as a possible extension
that should be added in mathml3, but I don't think that any requirement
has been fully specified yet and certainly I haven't seen any
suggestions for markup.
