I said in a previous communication that the phrase "Elsevier adopts
MathML" was to be very debatable. It may be interesting to note here that
in last Elsevier’s CEP 1.1.0-1.1.3 (the core of Elsevier’s 2005 XML DTDs
family)

238
   U
92

is encoded like

<ce:sup loc="pre">238</ce:sup><ce:inf loc="pre">92</ce:inf>U

with ce the "core" namespace
xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/common/dtd"

Above encoding is very similar to original XML-MAIDEN approach and related
to changes needed on MathML above listed.
