The proposal doesn't create a new version of MathML, it just provides a new way of serialising MathML content, and generating a DOM from that content (deserialising it). The MathML language is left intact -- the DOM is the same, the rules for processing the DOM are the same, and the semantics for such a DOM are the same. > For example your proposal breaks compatibility with MSIE/MathPlayer, > compatibility which was achived only recently, it took several years for > them to recognize application/xhtml+xml and give people opportunity to > serve the same markup to Mozilla and MSIE. That will continue to work and continue to be just as conformant. The proposal just seems to be adding a new serialisation/deserialisation format, it doesn't stop people from using XHTML. Anyway, I'm not the one you have to convince. If you don't want Roger to experiment, convince him, not me. I'm just looking for implementation experience so that, going forward, I can make educated decisions. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
