I only can repeat you that the CSS approach is not limited to MathML not even to an "xml input syntax". You can use HTML 4.x, HTML 5, XHTML 1.x, XHTML 2, ... by "reasonable xml syntax" I meant pretty much any SGML markup, so all of those. If you have some CSS that can display matrices and superscripts from some markup of that form, that would be interesting. I have yet to see any CSS that can achieve that from reasonable markup. As I said you can obviously put each character in a span on its own and absolutely position that character, but that isn't really feasible unless you are machine generating the markup. > > Rendering of large brackets requires positioning of bracket-fragment > > characters > There is no such one requirement. If you just scale the characters then it soon becomes unusable. Any proposal for mathematical typesetting even if only "web quality" rather than TeX typeset quality needs to be able to typeset at least matrices and superscripts, surely? David
